Picked up a Russian made AK 47 in 308 caliber today for $200 that only been shot a couple (less then 5) times. I will be selling or trading the gun because I bought it as trading material. The PO didn't like the recoil, I just don't like them and think they are ugly.
 
Romanian WASRs--one's my bro's, the other is mine. Both were bought Aug of 04 "just in case" the AWB didn't sunset. They're reliable and they do what's asked of them:

Theres my WZ. 88 Tantal.

I have an M70AB2, but as you can tell from the above picture, all I have for a camera is the one on my cell phone, so no pictures of it yet.

K.I.S.S.

That's all well and good for the safe-queen, internet-picture-posting, crowd, but those of us that shoot, train, and compete with the AK know better.

In running dynamic shooting events for the last 3+ years, I have yet to see anyone show up and be remotely competitive with a "KISS" AK. It just doesn't happen.

KISS is all well and good until you start shooting, moving, trying to make hits in reduced light, trying to make hits past 100 yards, etc.

Would I put a VFG, AR-style stock, etc. on an AK? No, but if they help the shooter get better hits faster, and don't impede the basic operation of the gun (VFGs get in the way of mag changes, AR stocks seem to like to come loose, etc.) then I say go for it.
 
There's nothing wrong with a tricked out rifle, but KISS rifles work just fine in my experience. I've noticed a trend in many of my carbine classes. The guys with the most expensive tricked out rifle have no clue what they are doing on the range. This isn't always the case... but it's not unusual at all.

I can appreciate the KISS rifles, the tricked out rifles, and everything in between. In the end, the person behind the rifle will determine how effective the weapon is though, not the accessories...
 
Got this romanian one cheap, thought i'd have some fun with it. now its dracula's ak,thought it would be fitting,being romanian vlad005.gif vlad004.gif vlad002.gif
 
I own and have fired my KISS AK, but when compared to my T56SHTF the KISS AK is slower, less practical and less capable.

The T56SHTF gets fired while the KISS AK sits in the safe.

 
wow, did you send in your tantal for the work? or did you buy it like that? That looks good!

Thanks. The rifle came that way from Krebs -- I guess a while back (bought mine in 07, think they built them in 05 maybe?) they did a small run of Tantal kits (including Polish, chromed barrels) built on Armory USA receivers.
 
Here are a few of mine to choose from.

I have added a few more and we are working on 6 more. All different, all unique.
