I was in the army so I have experience with a quite few different firearms, but mainly the M-16/AR-15 platform. Anyway, apparently they're gonna start getting pretty inexpensive. My friendly salesman, already wearing a red hat reading, "America: Great Again" advised me that the next shipment was going to go for about $750 per, but that if I waited until close to Christmas, that I could probably save $100 or so.
So I think that's what I'm going to get: an AK-47; like a really old-school looking Kalishnakov. After all, they aren't going anywhere. Instead of sleigh bells, this Christmas is going to have the ring of 7.62 ammo being fired down range.
It's weird. Now that I know that any hope for gun control of any kind is as dead as Charleton Heston, I suddenly don't feel guilty about owning one of the weapons I would absolutely ban if I had the ability to.
Are they making them any better these days? The originals were meant to be used by half-educated farm boys and accuracy was not really important.
