    Okay, so someone is selling there ak and wants to transfer ownership through an FFL, but i'm pretty sure you can not transfer ownership of a banned weapon or even sell one. Am I right or should I go ahead and get this AK. Don't want to do anything illegal, help is needed!

    Banned weapons are only transferable in-state upon death. So you have to die first, basically.

    Otherwise, no it isn't legal.

    They are not banned...yet. The vz2008 can be had for around 500 or less not including transfer/shipping. They are normally pretty good reliability wise but sometimes the fit/finish can be mediocre (scratches or dings along with the occasional wobbly handguard). Also, the hand guard can get a little hot after some mag dumps. :)

    The Vepr is an AK "in any format" no less. I wish you could do the Zastava M76 or PSL, but my FFL said no, still AKs.

    VZ and SKS are both good rifles, however.

    I have yet to understand why a HBAR is legal but a RPK which is a heavy barrel AK is not.
