    Bulgarian AK-47

    Ok, I might have over-reacted last night to Heller's victory over DC. I went out and put some money down on an AK-47 that has a Bulgarian Receiver, but US made furniture. In fact, the stock actually kind of fit me vice the others I have tried. Price for this puppy is 650.00. I think it's...
