Hey guys, never been much of an AK fanatic, can definitely appreciate them for their worth though. So I decided to add one to my stable. Almost bought an Arsenal few weeks ago, just didn't work out. Then out of the blue I get a trade offer on another rifle I was selling and decided to take him up on it. So I ended up with this B West Import from China, not B west made, pre ban side folder. Gotta tell ya, this thing is about as fine a rifle I have ever seen, excellent condition, low low round count that I need to add to. I've never held an AK in the safe for very long but this might be a keeper. All numbers matching, great blueing, folder locks up tight with no slop, furniture is perfect. Theres really nothing I would change on it, and thats a huge first for me. Tell me whatcha think!

Very nice.

I kinda agree with you, but for its age just don't think I could do it!

Thanks Ducky and Robert.

Very nice. I think as time goes by some of those "old time" importers had a clue.[Flower]

All the bake lite on that looks sweet. The bake lite mags AIM is selling would complete that for sure! Sucks living in a commie state now!

Got to take it out yesterday. So all those good looks and a sweet shooter, if it was a woman I'd be waiting for it to go crazy on me.

Sweet. Put me in line too if you get into a mood to sell. AKs are one of the things the Chinese got right.
