Ya know, I guess I'd feel a lot different if I'd captured one in Asia and smuggled it home as a souvenir.
But to go buy one there's no attraction, or at least almost none and that goes for all Russian products.
Chinese, Yugoslav or whatever . . .
BTW when I found out my new Springfield was made in Croatia, that was depressing.
There are always US made AK's if it makes you feel warmer and fuzzier inside.
DDI is making a fine example. And made in one of my favorite places. Knoxville, TN. They also hire a lot of US Veterans. Great company.
