Same here...bought one in '82 for ~$500. Great shooter, 'shoulders like a FAL'(I had the fixed stock). BTW, you CAN lock the bolt back(you pull the bolt handle straight out after you pull the bolt all the way to rear). Runs great w/ HK & PMAG/MOEs. B&T(Swiss) makes are sweet rail to mount optics etc. The Swedish AK5 is a 'product improved' version(especially the handguards).

... you know, guys like that ain't got no manhood left anyway. So it's a hell of a lot of fun to shoot them."
