Looking for the perfect match to you’re AR-15? An iconic weapon stitched into the design of national flags (see Mozambique) and revered round the world as the terrorist weapon of choice? Look no further because the Kalashnikov USA is going to begin manufacturing their firearms right here in the heartland.
Thanks to Obama’s sanctions against Russia for invading its neighbors, imports of AKs were banned in 2014. Now they have set up a factory in Pompano Beach, Florida and are hiring those interested in a manufacturing job.
Is an AK any better than an SKS? My SKS looks and feels like it was made in junior high shop class.
Jethro ~ you want a really nice AK, get one manufactured by Century Arms
… they make milled receivers …. sweet

I have shot the SKS and the AK- 47 I like the AK-47 better. It’s a much sturdier weapon.
Jethro- There are varying degrees of each. I have one SKS,milled trigger guard and screw-in barrel, and another that has stamped guard and pinned barrel. My AK is milled receiver and hammer forged barrel. Nice gun. But there are also cheapies out there.
I lost mine in an unfortunate Ferry accident … so sad …

Why you always got to bring the gays into these conversations?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

Hey, remember all those brand new Korean war surplus, preserved M-1s our dweeby former cum-in-hander in Chief banned from importing? Maybe now we can get our hands on em.
I would never buy a Century Arms.

If Barky was blocking the Russian AK importation, I reckon he was blocking the Russian AK factory here, too. Why is the MSM not freaking out about this? It pulls so many of their current triggers. Maybe Monday after the pussy hats are finished, they’ll hit it hard. In fact Obama might have to step in.
Kalashnikov USA is a hack!
Not anywhere related to Kalashnikov.
Just bought a PSA AKM.
Much better bang for the $!
Jethro, SKS is more accurate than any AKM.
Great bargain:

The only serious AK right now is the SAM-7 series from Arsenal.
I have a milled AK47 and a milled AK74.

If you want an AK, Arsenal is the one. And Atlantic Firearms is the reputable place to deal with. Century and Classic have less than stellar reputations, reviewable with a simple web search.
Rifle Dynamics or Molot until Ishmash is allowed back in. Otherwise it’s a crapshoot.
Trust me.
Say what you will, Eugene Stoner was a shit load smarter than Mikhail Kalashnikov.
Kalashnikov’s work was mostly derivative. Stoner was a genius.
A quick check on the interwebs shows on the black market, the average price for an AK worldwide is $434. If you sell a kidney you can buy 280 of them!
I gotta figure out how to get the wife
on board with my Christmas wish list. The
last one was a Glock 43. This is gonna be
a little more difficult.
reboot,
LOL, amateur. Repeat after me, “It’s a lot easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.’

Hehehe! I did that two weeks ago
with a new desk top. I came to the realization that
my computer was the same age as my 7 year
old. I get away with it about once a year.
I’ve been wanting either an M-1A or a AK platform
for awhile.
THEN my buddy at work buys a Kel-Tec KSG and rants
about it. Good lord, the choices are so hard. I might go
with the KSG, I’m all about room clearing and not sniping,
I live on an island…….
