My beloved Meredith bought me a new toy for my birthday - an AK-47!  Nothing says lovin' like a communist assault rifle!







I bought a bayonet for it last night while doing some Christmas shopping.



Here's another view sitting in the case Mere bought for me.



This is the complete set with all of the bayonet and some of the accessories that came with the gun.



Extra toys, including a spare magazine, a leather sling (that will be replaced) and a grease bottle.



The new bayonet I picked up last night.



Ooh, pokey!



The gun came with a "free" bayonet, but it doesn't actually fit the AK it came with.  It belongs on a CETME, but Century Arms apparently just throws them in with all their guns as a gimmick.  You wouldn't believe how badly this thing has been beaten!

I'll post a few more pictures later this week when I can get Meredith to pose with it!

(...wants to shoot it soooo badly!)

Ya but nothing says love on the holidays like a 30 Cal Sniper Rifle!  Ya know...if you have 30K to spend.  Would love just to look down that massive scope once. Shivers...

(very nice though)

You can get a decent AK clone for $349, or closer to $449 for a really nice import. 

I bought ammo for my SKS (7.62x39mm, same as the AK-47) last year in a 500-round case for ~$60 from a gun store.  That's a little of a dime per round, which is rather cheap, especially considering it came from a gun store that is notoriously high-priced on ammo.

Briney, I haven't made any plans to go the range yet (which really sucks because I want to shoot this thing!) but I'll try to find some time in my schedule within the next week or so.
