And I'm sorta amazed. I thought we might get a year...max. Ironically that's what I did with all my credit cards...maxed. Guns, mags....crap they released a new one...more guns. Everytime Colt rolled out a new 6720 whatever I almost had a seizure because I didn't have one yet. Eventually I just grabbed a 6945 to party with my 6933 and made peace with the fact that I won't be able to own one of everything they made.
Still need to get the 9mm SBR flat top whatever the hell number that one is.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.

What is surprising is the amount of 7.62x39 and 5.45x39 still out there for sale. Everyone went hog wild on 5.56 and seemed to forget the AK weapons and calibers. Maybe most already have pile of that stuff in their gun pantry (like I do).

I sorta want a PSA AK74. I’m not an AK guy and they are horribly obsolete but...
I went through a severe hipster phase where I had a Russian made Saiga AK-74 that was the closest thing one could possibly get to an AK-74M legally. I loved it. It was surprisingly accurate (not at all, in any way AR-15 accurate) but it was fun. It was perhaps the funnest non AR gun I ever owned.
And I foolishly traded it for something else when the 7n6 ban happened. I thought I would have an orphaned gun.
5.45 just feels different. Not by much. It’s an interesting round. Part of me wants to revisit it but I doubt I will
I’ve had to start shooting AKs more over the last couple months. I used to be a big time AK guy (see username) back when I was a doughy POS who bought tons of guns but hardly ever shot them. Years later when I actually started shooting regularly I became markedly less fond of them. I kept most of my AKs but they mostly just sat around ignored.
But now I’ve got no choice so I’m back to messing with these clunky sharp-edged upjumped submachine guns.
Yugo brass cased 7.62x39?
From what I recall Martin Fackler tested that stuff and it apparently exhibits slightly better wound ballistics than other 7.62x39 ball. Probably still very mediocre compared to a fragmenting or expanding projectile though but mediocrity is just the nature of FMJ 7.62x39.
I am tempted to go the AK route...but that means 1-2 guns, about 2-3k in rounds, 10 to 20 extra mags, etc....
Bought my first AK weapons in the period after Urgent Fury in Grenada. Saw stacks of them there. Started buying the Clayco, Norinco and Polytech imports after that when they were still cheap. Still have most of them. Good, reliable and robust system that is dated, but can do the job.
One thing I have never done is run any of the combloc steel cased ammo in my AR's. My LMT's or Colts have never experienced Wolf or Silver Bear/Brown Bear ammo in them. That lacquered steel cased stuff is reserved for AK's only.
