An AK-74 - New to me.

Post by mrmark99 »

I picked me up a AK-74 recently. Early made Bulgarian parts kit that was commercially built with a matching USA built receiver. This is my first AK-74 that I have ever had. I have always wanted one, but this one was exactly what I was looking for. I have own a dozen or so AK-47 (Pre ban, and Post ban) over the years. I also collect the AK47 magazines. I have 35+ different country variations (Metal and Bakelite versions). I displayed them at the Leavenworth KCMCC military display show in March. Recently I just picked up an Egyptian Military "Oval spot weld" Metal AK47 mag, and a Hungarian "man in the moon" marked one, that is always also assumed to be Egyptian, but it is not.

A couple of the Chinese pre-ban under-folders that I own along with some of the AK-47 magazine variations.

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
