@jabagryz, Sorry, guess if I played video games more often, I'd know what guns I have. It's an AK-47

@hickok45, I apologize if I made a mistake. I was just trying to be helpful. Did you delete my other comments or something?

[hickok45]

@BSmithCharles, No comments are ever deleted, as per my radio show explanation; they've just not been officially approved yet. :-) I have no idea about your comments; I sometimes just delete a whole string of comments if there's some crazy argument with insane language and such. I'm sure some sensible comments end up "not getting approved" in that process. :-)

I'd like to see something on the SKS.



[hickok45]

@1324jeb, I've done them.

[hickok45]

@Wofka1986, right. Whatever you say.

i like the vz becaise i think it is more stable when you fire it on semi or auto. although it jammed on me 0.0

[BillowyKibbles]

the stick is made so u can tuck your elbow all the way in when firing the gun...

What brand is that black AK-47? I'm looking for one and I'm not sure which company to go with to get an AK-47 variant?

Thanks! Anyone is free to help me on this but @hickok45 you could probably help a little more.

Regardless of the bolt hold back on empty. I like the ak mag release better. You can slap the mag with a mag to release and have fast reload

If its stamped, then its technically akm.

@jabagryz The 47 and the 74 look essentially identical. This one is chambered in 7,62x39, as one can clearly see by the shape of the magazine. It's a 47. The 74 is chambered in 5.45x39 and the magazine is curved at a different angle.

@hickok45 this weapon more looks like ak 74

@jabagryz

lmfao. you really think this guy doesnt know what weapons he owns? and what they are? wow.

[robertstaco]

I would rather go ak platform...it has More of a market for parts since vz58 isnt interchangable and likely harder to find parts for it. Good stuff! I was thinking of getting a vz58, but im glad i didnt. I own both arsenal sgl 21 and 31. Best investment ive ever made!

hickok you really need to invest in a wood furniture AK. its just not the same without the wood ;(
