Whereas I am glad you are coming to the fold, this part really sucks. All I can do is send prayers.

I use postimage from my phone daily.
You need to copy the “hotlink for forums” code from the pic you want to post and then simply paste it here.

If it's in your cloud storage, you may have to download it to your phone's memory. That's usually what I do, then upload to postimage.

The gun as you describe it is a PolyTech Legend. Highly desirable, milled receiver gun with a fixed wood stock. They sell in the $2.5--3K range retail, depending on condition etc. Will you sell or keep it? Is the gun currently in your possession?

I'll post them the first opportunity I have. ...I should be around most of today, but will be taking the old lady out for her birthday dinner/dancing later.

Of course, if she hears you call her "old lady" you may be available all night.

Assuming the doghouse has wi-fi...

Should be an importer's markings ON the gun..either receiver OR on the bbl..look carefully. AKs are decent and easy to find parts for. Remmeber the bolt does not hold open after the mag is empty on every one I've shot.. You should be able to buy mags cheap and about $40 worth of spare parts should keep her running for decades. Fine guns, just don't expect it to be a tack driver. Ballistics like a .30-30 w HP ammo, so you can legally HUNT derr-sized game with them IF you use a 5rd magazine for hunting...unlike an .223 cal AR which is NOT legal to hunt deer with anywhere I think .
