I'm interested in learning more about AK47s. I know little to nothing about them. For some reason I seem find them increasingly interesting...
Which accessible and somewhat reasonably priced manufactures are decent today? What should someone look for when checking one out? Do you have to worry about magazine compatibility? It seems like building your own, like an AR, is a terrible idea unless it starts life as a shovel? Any local smiths put kits together? What is the budget for it to be back together?
