Hey all,
I've got a 'problem' that more people probably wish they had - my wife really wants an AK-47. Well, that's not the problem so much as finding one, or a reasonable substitute.
She is only 5 feet tall and under a hundred pounds, so she wants something that would fit her stature. Also, she is looking for an auto-loader in a rifle round, otherwise I would suggest a pistol caliber carbine for her.
Any advice on good ways to go with this? Maybe get a Saiga and do a conversion? or are there any other types of dangerous-looking rifles that would suit her requirements and are easier to find in today's crazy market?
She is less concerned with hunting than with self/property defense. Maybe a .45 carbine would work if I could convince her it was her idea.
Any suggestions?
Edit:
Just took a look at some carbine manufacturer's pages - Good Lord, why are Hi-Point firearms so ugly?
