AKs will be no bueno, of course...but the SKSs, Tokarev, and CZ-75 clones? Yes, please.
This is all assuming its not just a clever plan to take over the South....
:D
Despite the religiousness of it, I sobbed like a child when I saw the Mosins.
Also, that sweet dead-zero flip. Because fk you germans.
[full disclosure: I'm half German...the other half is Norwegian...the result of which can be found in the German graves in Normandy and the Japanese graves...
(SHUT UP, I KNOW IT'S ABOUT BELGIUM)
So...anyway, I've been wanting a nice french pistol to go along with my MAS 49/56 for a while now....and then, suddenly, gunbroker is full of them. Well, thanks!

I've been wanting a PoleTok for a while, so if figured, why not. Even if it had no finish, it'd still look cool. Toks are good...
Not me.
This one's been rode hard and put away wet, though, but that just adds to the charm for me. Finish is nearly gone, there're some weird patterned marks, maybe from a vice, and a couple of spots of pitting. There's also some weirdness around it, based on some of the features...all of...
I've noticed my purchases have been trending smaller...culminating recently in the utterly miniscule Beretta 1935. Being a red-blooded American male, I believe this reflects negatively on me...and could affect my credibility with the Heisman voters.
