My New AK and first regulated purchase

[bronco94]

Well its tough to sleep knowing I'm going to pick up my new AK later today. It's my first of many purchases after turning 21 a few weeks ago.

It's a TGI AMD AK.

I'll post pictures later today after I've picked it up, so I'll start the "no pics" hassling for you all...

Have a good day everyone...pics to come later




EDIT: pictures added

AMD=sex. Can't wait to see it! Congrats, and welcome to the club. Before you know it you'll have a stack of 77R's that looks like the leaning tower of Piza.

Awesome!

My first rifle was a AK. It was cheap ($242) and I knew it was famously indestructable so I thought it would be a great rifle to learn on. 1000 rounds later it's as sweet as ever. Still one of my favorites to shoot!

As you may guess from my screen name, I'm a fan of AK's. They are a blast to shoot. Be careful, they tend to multiply.

Now.... let's see that thang!!!!

I have an AMD-65 matching unfired parts kit that I just had built on a Spud Nodak receiver by Overland Industries. They did and awesome job with total attention to every detail for $300. It is a beauty. Almost to pretty to shoot!
My first AK is a Arsenal USA SSR-56-2 with a 1.6mm receiver and a Eotech 512.A65 halo sight (seen in my Avitar).
My second AK is a Saiga 7.62x39 conversion that I did myself.
I love AKs, but I had to get a H&K G3 kit which I had built on a PTR91 receiver by Jeff Walters (found on HK Pro forum user name ghilliebear2000). What a super job he did for $500.
Hey, and while I am reloading 7.62x51, I should get an old Mauser with Spanish crest marked MODELO 1912 NATO Waffenfabrik Steyr Austria. Hey, I won that auction today for $163.
Man, I got this military rifle bug bad.....

May your first AK not be your last! Congratulations!

My first reg was a milled Arsenal SLR-95 laying next to another stamped AK. I knew zip about gun laws and kept asking the guy which one would be easier to convert to full-auto. Everytime I asked he stared strait ahead and said "I do not know what you are referring to sir." Eventually I got the hint. I felt like an ass but it was a learning experience. Right then and there I found the tip of the iceberg when it comes to stupid gun laws and how "free" we really are.

You will be very happy with your chioce of a virtually maintenance free firearm and will forever wonder why all guns aren't built like this.

Happy shooting!

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay. Yesterday was kind of hectic so I'm just getting around to taking pictures today.

Here's my new baby:

Sorry for the cellphone pictures but you get the idea.

Can't wait to get out and shoot now!

Clandestine...the wood on your AK is gorgeous. I'll probably be ordering a stock set to do something similar to mine. The link you posted in the other thread was most helpful...thanks

is it easy to modify an AMD to make it look more like a :gulp: normal AK?

Very nice.
