    Default Rare rifle night at the PAFOA...

    For those of us of age in the 70's and 80's..

    If you never seen one of these up close; you didn't miss anything. This makes a WASR look like a Weatherby;

    Interarms used to sell these for under $700.00.. Almost ordered one via the BX, but to a married E4 in 1976, may as well been a couple thousand.

    I'd take a newer daewoo and definitely the valmet. As for the metal shop ar-almost-15... that would be a big effin' pass. Same with the others.

    This one comes with one 8 round magazine.... why would someone make an 8 round magazine? If it was to follow the law of their country, what kind of morons arbitrarily came up with the idea that an 8 round magazine poses less of a threat to society than a 10 round? really?

    NO LIE! Wotta hunka crap! I remember those going for $250 at gun shows ca. '90 - '91, and STILL not selling!

    These didn't sell well.. Day-who? But they were good guns..

    Daewoo's were pretty sharp, as I recall. People who owned 'em SWORE by 'em, and in the PRE-M4 era, they were about as radical a design as there was! Sarah Brady BUTThole stocks devalue EVERYTHING. I've thrown a couple on campfires over the years.

    Remember 'em from gun periodicals of the era, but don't think I ever saw one.

    Valmet is the Lincoln Towne Car of the AK world! Only probelm is, when they came to America in the early '70's, NOBODY had either AK mags or 7.62x39 ammo!!! That stuff wouldn't arrive in QUANTITY for about another 15-20 years!!!

    Class III fun shoppe I used to haunt in the early '90's near Charlotte had a couple, and they wanted $3k (+/- as I recall) then for 'em! The ONLY AK out there that actually makes Arsenal & Vector AK's look 'cheap' by comparison!

    NEAT finds!

    I'd consider one of those at that price. I have a magazine review of one from when they first came out. Simply find it curious.

    I like the Bushmaster Gwinn. An AR type rifle for 300 bucks? How much did it sell for new? I guess it competed against the Mini 14.

    I recall a few rare birds from yore.

    Gloria: "65 percent of the people murdered in the last 10 years were killed by hand guns"
    Archie Bunker: "would it make you feel better, little girl, if they was pushed outta windows?"

    +1.

    I was seriously scavenging for 7.2x39 & 54R in the 60s & 70s. Norma was the only game in town @ $20 per box of 20 rds. Good thing Norma was boxer primed. Got the stink eye from well-meaning shop owners more than once for asking for those sizes, tho. Ah yes, the good old "daze" of the Cold War. SKSs were very rare except for 'Nam bringbacks (and they *looked* like war refugees), AKs were almost unheard of here prior to '82-83.

    I'd love a K2. Pretty much what the current piston rifles are doing, only done 30! years earlier.

    They came with different twists and it can be hard to tell what barrel you have just by looking. A guy at a range I go to has the thumbhole stock version and it it's a real tight shooter.

    I think the K1 was direct impingement(?)



    Love a Valmet as well although I'd go for one with peep sights.



    Here's one I'd like to see more of:
