Came out ahead for once

I think 2005 or 2006 is the time I’m thinking back to.

Paid $750 back in the Obama days

Mine was about $2000, in....2012 or 2013.

Ahh, the Sandy Hook special price.

Yeah, I know they used to be absurdly cheap.
I don't recall how much they cost at the time I bought my Yugo SKS from Dunham's. The SKS was $119 on Black Friday.
I can't swear by it, but I want to say that the AK was only about $75 more because I remember going back and forth trying to decide which one to buy.
Ultimately, I decided to just save the few dollars and buy the SKS "since they are both semi autos".

I should go find my paperwork to see when I bought the SKS.

Pre 94 ASW Ban bought SKS's wholesale for about $70.00 and AK's for $135.00. There were some real deals when they were talking about no grandfathering.

Well, it has a number of after market parts, aim point, threaded barrel, 70 or 75 round drum, etc.

[Bang]

I picked up a Romanian drum for $89 at a gun show 10 years ago. It's fun!

SWEET........and I am sure it was fun. Unfortunately with the cost of ammo I doubt people will be putting more than 10 rounds in now.

No worries, just go shooting at a SGL range. Only 3 rounds are allowed in the magazine at a time.

".....3 rounds are allowed in the magazine at a time."

And some think there is hope for semi-auto deer hunting!

[crapshoot]

There was a time WASRs were looked down upon compared to the other AKs.

not much has changed other than there are more people now in the gun world that are too young to remember the good old days.
