Happy owner of a new SAR-1

[Chris Pinkleton]

Thanks to the information I gleaned from this board, I just picked up a SAR-1 for $336 total.

Thanks for the info, y'all. I am one happy man! My first in gun purchase in over two years..way too long, but now I've got a new favorite.

Enjoy; it's a great gun. Nice and handy, real short and light. I love it, though I'm more of an AR man myself.

Congrats on your "first". The AK is a great rifle. Lots of fun and very addictive. Better get a bigger safe.

This topic should be a top topic/ pin up, yet another happy Romanian ak owner.

Im still a happy camper with the one I have.

Congrats and hope you enjoy years of great shooting with it.

Hey,
I just wanted to sound off on the SAR 1. I bought one about a year ago to add to the AK103 that I already have.
One thing that I didn't like was the crappy slappy trigger it had made by our skilled friends at Century Intl. Arms. I bought a new trigger group from K-VAR out of Las Vegas, and installed it myself. after seeing where the parts of the trigger group were interacting, I smoothed out the areas with a stone I use for sharpening knives( a stone from Spyderco- it's triangular) and I used crest toothpaste after to "lap" the areas. I am very pleased now with the trigger. Hopefully you already have a decent trigger
in your AK now.
I have put about 1000 rounds thru mine, I used it in two 3-gun matches, it runs like the normal AK-jam-free.
You may already know this, but on the sight of the AK, the rearmost setting is an upside down "U". That is point blank range, and to AKs that is 10 Meters. If you are dead-on at 10 meters, then you will be dead-on at 300 meters and then you can slide the sight elevation to 100M and you're on target, slide to 2 and you're on 200m, etc.
AK's and Glocks- the only two weapons that don't give you any crap! enjoy. K-Var also has U.S. Made furniture sets in black and ODgreen that are pretty nice if you ever want to upgrade. you lose your trapdoor though.

I bought one the other day, myself

I have now had my AK for about a week or so. I love it. I have only put about 40 rounds through mine, but it will get a few more in a short while.

I was just over at www.sportsmansguide.com, and noticed they have Wolf Ammo in 7.62 X 39 500 rounds for $42.97!! I will probably make a purchase.

Enjoy!!!!

Congrats, the only 2 guns that don't give you any crap AK's and MAKAROV's.

Buy 2,000 rounds the first 1,000 goes quick and empty guns suck!

I know it's rifle coutry but I can buy 3 MAKAROV's for the price of 1 GLOCK.

The SAR 1 is great best $300 you could spend enjoy it will give you years of endless pleasure.
