Questions for the weary. don't know why, but I bought an AK

[Guest 6.8 AR]

I just got a side folder AK(AMD65?) for what I considered a good price, and

now have some questions. It's the tanker's gun.

On the bottom of the receiver behind the forward grip, it has stamped,

"SA 2000M"

"TGI KNOX TN"

Who is that? It rings a bell, but I can't put a finger on it. Are they the

ones who made it compliant? I'll get around to pics in a day or two. Can't

do that right now.

Oh hell no! Don't tell me you're turning into a Commie I was already worried about you with all those Austrian pistols.

TGI KNOX TN is Tennessee Guns International, the importer here in Knoxville (Louisville actually).

They got sort of hammered by BATF about a year ago, yes?

But they seem to still be cranking:

Indeed. Never did hear the outcome of that.

Should have said "from". Too excited about my new toy.

I thought that was the name of the place, thanks. That's where I heard that name:on here!

This gun seems to be barely used. Nothing sloppy about it. It has a new comp(looks new, anyway).

Now I've got to take it home and play with it.

Based very brief research those particular guns (Hungarian SA 2000M's) were designed for single-stack mags but can be "modified" for traditional AK mags.

TGI used to assemble rifles, but now that part is handled by Waffen Werks is my understanding. Does the receiver have a FEG marking on the side? "SA 2000M" was a designation for single stack receivers, but a lot have been converted to dual stack. More than likely this is a TGI assembled rifle using a Hungarian sporter (importable) receiver.

Still don't get it...you're weary from pricing AKs or just tired in general, or ??

Cool that you picked one up, though.

Man...just when you thought you've seen it all, 6.8 goes and buys a combloc heater. You can't count on anybody anymore.
