Patience is a virtue.
Found another AK online and went to look at it.
It had less than a box of shells fired through it since he got it a week ago. Matter of fact, there was still about 12 or 13 rounds in the mag that he hadn't finished shooting from when he first got it, so realisitically, it had less than a 20 round box of ammo through it since they had bought it with their college money, which he admits had him in the doghouse with wifey-pooh.
Guy was goofy as hell and she was plain scared of it.
So, I was able to get virtually a brand new Gen 2 NPAP, 4 mags, and 280'ish + rounds at a significant loss for him, though I didn't feel guilty this time. Those two had a lot more issues going on than the gun. It was my civic duty to get it away from them.
Before I drove to his house to look at it, the guy told me it was a Russian so I was stoked to have found an already converted saiga or Arsenal.
When I got there, it was obvious that he failed world civ class AND couldn't read the English writing on the side of it that plainly said SERBIA. [rolleyes] So I point out the differences in them and that they were in fact different style guns, and got the price going in my favor.
Guy starts trying to talk the gun up and about how good the gun would be for the "zombie apocalypse" and me just being blunt and who I am stared him in the eye until he looked away and told him that I've never had the first problem from a dead man. I think he was genuinely unnerved.
Anyway, I know, pics or it didn't happen, but I can't really comply right now. I have a sneaky suspicion that I'm not going to get socks this year for CHRISTMAS.
