Nope, you can pretty much get them in every state of the Union thankfully.

I just got a WASR-10 as well, but I only paid $399 for mine :) Gotta stain my wood though.

I saw one at a gun show here for $780...I got mine, with everything pictured, for less than half...I was pretty happy. :)

Yeah, can't wait to shoot it... funny that anyone freaks out about the "deadly" AK-47 when I have a M1, Mosin Nagant, etc. :) I don't share my rifle collection with very many friends.

It is my firmly held conviction that to own a single AK-47 should be a serious criminal offense.





You need at least two! ;)

I will post pics of mine when I am home later.

They look so scary, though! ;)

Go troll in another thread.

Not trolling, I see not point in this weapon of murder.

Then get the hell out of the thread.

My hands and feet are weapons of murder. I suppose you'll have those taken from me too :roll:


Edit: Oh, and awesome buy, JLee :cool:

I would wager that the only person you could kill with your hands and feet is yourself.

I would love to have something like that. Unfortunately it's a pain in the ass to own any kind of fireweapon in Belgium :(

When I come to the USA on holidays, I'm going to hook up for one day with one of you so we can go shooting :D

I could never move to Cali..would have to hide-err, sell, too much stuff. :p

congrats and welcome to the club.

i opted alt route and built an M4. very fun rifles to take to the range.

here are a couple links you might enjoy checking out

M4Carbine

Bravo Company Bravo Company primarily supports the AR15 platform, so maybe not as useful, but still a good reference site.

Too bad you had to get a WASR as they are the clunkiest of the AK's. But, if you did pay 400 bucks or less you got a very solid deal and the gun is worth it at that price. To get a Yugo or something much nicer you would spend close to 1000 at this point.
