Timkel,

That is a truly impressive picture that I have never come across before. I appreciate your posting it. I'm also amazed that you constantly find this stuff, care to share your secret?

Loaded with pics but text is Russian.

Nice Type II
How do you like it?
Transferrable?
Is that a price tag?
How much?

I wish it was mine, found the pic on the net.
Here in IL you cant own class 3, not that I could afford a Russian Type2 AK.

The buttstock and possibly pistol grip also appear larger and more robust?
