Okay, Justin-a challenge....

[Tristan]

Not just for Justin, for everybody.
And sorry, Justin, but I just can't call you Rachel Ray. Female monikers for men just don't work for me, lol.
Recently I came across a Japanese book that listed every AK by every country ever produced until the date of publishing. I believe it was published in the 90's.
At any rate, find me the book and you get a cash reward.
Of course, I don't speak or read Japanese, but it's still way cool and the guy who showed it to me wouldn't sell it.....and I offered him a hefty sum....

[Tristan]

This is the book on the right

Now that is cool!!
I wonder how long it would take to translate it using google translator??

With some effort I'm sure you can find it,just have to be crafty and know people in different countries.It's possible that it could be found out in the European market.

Man I wish my buddy was still stationed over in Japan :(

[jreifsch80]

Come on lol

[jreifsch80]

I've pulled a lot of images off google images from that book what is it like tokoi or something weird like that that published or wrote it or something but it's a good resource

[jreifsch80]

Also aa-ok has translations of the nva armorers manuals both ak47/akm and ak74 or maybe it's Robert rtg that has them

[zteknik]

I can translate any Polish manuals :D
Do I win anything?[Coffee]

[jreifsch80]

Can you find the polish manuals? That would be awesome also can you translate the Serbian m76 manual/sniper manual for me? Lol

[zteknik]

I can probably find some from some of the guys I dealt with in Poland,I doubt my Uncle would give any of his up :(
I could possibly translate it Serb to Polish-Polish to English,although I believe I saw somewhere a translated version allready,it was downloadable as a pdf -the ak forum???

[jreifsch80]

Oh yeah? Probably that Gunterpreim guy or whatever his name is

[Tristan]

I have a Polish friend named Swavik Sikowitz-and I'm sure I spelled is name wrong. But he doesn't understand my polish jokes, lol......
Anyways, Akyla (http://www.ar-15.co/forums/member.php?u=3211), that is the book-I suppose I should've been clear-I meant in like a local book store or something-not online. I already tried to order from them (I, too followed the links on the forum you pointed out) and they are all sold out, supposedly. Took 2 weeks to get my money back........
I will give $100 to the person that puts it in my hand. That's for the book and your finders' fee.

[jreifsch80]

Ah ok I'll check with some of my buddies over on the ak forum and see of I can track one down, there's a great guy mpikms-72 is his handle or Dan he's a guy that can usually round up rare items.

[Tristan]

Sounds good to me-have Bryan bring it up when he brings me back my sluice box, lol....

[jreifsch80]

I think it is tokoi's bOok you're referring to, here's a download and translation but not sure if it works since I'm on my iPhone, like I said I'll try to bird dog one for you but it's been out of print a while
