Type 1 AK-47 AKS

I didn't want to pay the Polytech price, or the price for a milled receiver Bulgarian, so I bought a stamped receiver Romanian WASR 10 with an expanded mag well. I put a chromed gas piston and a two stage Red Star Arms trigger group in it and it turned out to be a reasonably accurate shooter. 7.62X39 was also pretty cheap 3-4 years ago, so I stocked up 3,000 rounds and it's been happy shooting since. The Romanian guns are pretty well put together and have a chromed bore.

Wish I'd kept the Poly-Tech Legend, but I needed the money to put on a full auto Vector Arms Uzi submachine gun....I paid 2600.00 for the thing in 2001, and a dealer offered me 12K for it last week. By my calculations, if I had liquidated my 401k in 2001 and spent it all on Uzis, my house would be paid off and I could have bought a Porsche Cayman....sigh.

I, also, purchased one in 2000-2001 for that price. I even purchased the extra two conversions(.22cal, 45ACP) for it plus a 72 round drum. I don't usually make smart purchases, because I purchase what I want, rather than what it might be worth in the future. As you say, we hit a home run on these purchases.
