Please don't attempt to show your ass by making an ignorant post.

Guess I already did. So what?

1. AK's do have problems, especially ones that have a mixture of parts from U.S/ foreign sources.

Oh, I see. Mine fits that category. Something is messed up with it, though. It always works. Go figure.

3. Comparing AR's to the above weapons is silly.

Didn't compare. Spoke of the various weapons in the same sentence, yes. That's not comparing.

I'm simply roundly mocking you "me so Mil Spec" guys.

It's easier to get a rise out of you than I thought it would be.

Is that the only reason you're here? If so, just slink on back to ARFCOM before the ban hammer and quit wasting everyone's time.

I am convinced that the only really well-done civilian-legal AK's were the IMI Galils. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having a problem with one--maybe because there were so few.

Ha, I was going to say... it seems like they are pretty few and far in between. :-(

***mindless bs***

As was suggested take your admitted trolling somewhere else. Doesn't fly here. Thanks.

I was shooting Colts before a lot of you guys were in diapers. Consider not taking yourselves so seriously.

GunBugBit, is there anything even remotely resembling a point to your three posts in this thread?

And I've been crapping in a toilet since I was 2, but that doesn't make me a plumber, nor would I argue with one on topics I know little about.

Really? What year?

Also, this thread is NOT about Colt. So why you are linking the conversation to ONE manufacturer is beyond me.

I saw AK's in Iraq and Afghanistan that were used and abused beyond imagination. I remember seeing the mismatch of parts, some AK's had parts from 3+ more countries mixed into them. Most of them ran, but not always.

The ones that never seemed to have real issues were those that were still ORIGINAL and used proper mags and ammo.

Very few AK's on the U.S market are worth a shit. Based on experience alone the only ones that come to mind are Arsenal.

I had a Bulgarian Arsenal milled gun, but I sold it. What bothered me was the cheap, crappy FCG that Arsenal shoe-horned in there to meet 922r. I replaced it with a Tapco G2, but the seeved pin and questionable quality still bothered me. In the end, I bought a Daniel Defense 300 Blackout to handle .30 caliber intermediate cartridge duty, and sold the AK.

That, and the rattle-can "finish". I mean, a park job wouldn't have been too much to ask for four figures...but runny (literally) black spraypaint looking stuff? CLP is the only approved lube for a reason on that gun. Dust it with gun-scrubber and you will be a sad panda.

I didn't say the Arsenal was the best thing since canned Cheese. I said that it was probably one of the better ones on the market, unless you spend a lot of money on a Saiga Legion conversion or something worked over by Krebs.

I also don't care about stuff like the finish. Many of the AK's I used had no finish left. If I was getting an AK it would be for shooting shit, not entering it into a gun porn contest.

The AK is the only gun in my opinion that looks better as the finish wears off and has that "bastardized" look.
