[mavrikZ]

Am I the only one that WISHES they had this problem?

[shadegray]

You ever get it sorted out?

[Sarge]

Aint illegal here.

[BADBLUE02]

Unless it's a fully auto you don't have anything to be nevous about.

[ss~zoso~ss]

you'd probably end up getting caught with the "throwing it away deal" somehow and getting in deep shit

[davered00ss]

You can own them in Ct.

no shooting range will let you shoot like an idiot trying to blow shit up.

AK/47s do not make horsepower, cars do.

AK/47s are not illegal at all.
everybody keeps talking about if its auto when the poster didnt even say it was.
you dont need a class 3 stamp to make it full auto. making AKs full auto is rather easy, just get the parts.
look in the back of shotgun news for full auto parts kit.

Maybe with a Hellfire or similar EXTERNAL trigger mechanism you can say that, but if you touch the internals (sear, etc.) to make it full-auto, expect a local BATF agent to make your lodging reservations for about ten years.

There was a young girl killed in a local Theme Park by an errant bullet fired from a "modified" AK47 about 18 years ago. Although the shooter did not intentionally try to harm anyone, he did have a weapon altered to fire fully-automatic. He ended up getting a Federal sentence because of the altered weapon. I'm pretty sure it was ten years.

Do NOT alter the internals of ANY semi-auto to make it fully automatic!!! That is a Federal Firearms Violation. It doesn't matter what state you are in.

AK47's are reliable and work well in bad conditions. That's their forte. Both the round 7.65 x 39mm and the rifle itself are not known for great accuracy, just decent. A typical M1A or M14 shoots a slightly more powerful round (7.62 NATO or .308 in civilian guise) with a lot more inherent accuracy. Inside about 150 yards or so, an AK is a good weapon. More than that, it becomes mediocre. Didn't somebody earlier claim it was very accurate? I guess that would depend on your definition of accurate. I will give the AK an "A" for dependability, but it's at best a "C" in the accuracy department. Anyone who doubts that show some pics of winners using AK's in high-power rifle matches. They are ruled by NATO cartridges.

[bobcat24]

[Zboner]

[nhraformula]

if its full auto, which ill bet it isnt, you want nothing to do with it.
you get caught with it, youre fucked.

[Zboner]

[bobcat24]

i bet you are right, its probably not full-auto, but if it is, its worth alot, look at gunsamerica.com and see what some of those full autos go for, still wouldnt wanna be caught with it though

[meanZ97]

i do know that you can have it here in texas as long as it isnt fully auto. you dont even have to have a license to have a semi auto one. and i think that you only have to be 18 also to have a rifle.

[FSANE]

holy crap. where the hell these replies come from?


Anyways, I been trying to get the guy to snap some pics of the gun and maybe a serial number or something. this way maybe you guys can identify it.

he is still unreachable. I'll keep on trying. will post pics if i get them.

Check gun laws in NY. You might be surprised. You can't even haul a disassembled gun through that state in your trunk if you don't have a permit as a NY citizen.
