Potential Commemorative Model?

[doc540]

I thought it only appropriate to acquire yesterday...


Should I have the date engraved?

Looks good! Details?

a former Marine had it for sale locally

I know nothing about AR's except which end makes the big noise

He said it was a "WASR", upgraded with some internal parts and refinished.

Included some HP ammo, two mag's, and the strangest looking bayonet system I've ever seen.

Gave a few hundred for it.

Think I should have it engraved with the Bin Ladin date?

I'd say the date engraved somewhere would be cool.

Just a few heads up for you since you have an AK now:
Good source of extra magazines: http://www.aimsurplus.com/catalog.aspx? ... +Magazines
Good source of all discussions AK in nature: http://www.warriortalk.com/forumdisplay ... Aficionado

Enjoy the dark side! Oh and WASR means its a Romanian AK. Now you've got to get started collecting the other countries....Russia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, China....

Nice score, looks like it is in excellent shape.

Was it purely in the spirit of the moment or do you have a specific type of role for it? I've been thinking an of an SKS for a general, do it all semi-auto rifle (with affordable ammo!) since I currently only have bolts.

I've gone through about eight or more SKS's:

from rare, original:


to BubbaTac


But for some strange reason this is my first AK.

I work with a guy who knows them well, and he suggested I jump on this deal after he'd inspected it.

SKS is a fine battle rifle.
