You need to start a thread with all your information in the first post and sticky it with a catchy title. So when people ask which AK isn't junk we can just point them to your sticky thread.
After having my 1952 milled Russian Parts kit gun put together by my gunsmith I haven't found one I liked since. The barrel and chamber was chrome plated and was in excellent condition.
I was stupid for getting rid of it. It was a milled receiver that was cut up atf spec, but my Smith fixed it up really good.
I sold it when firearms went through the roof. Got a real good price for it. I should have kept it.
Oof. We've all let things get away and kicked ourselves for doing so. That Russian Type 2 (I presume?) would spoil even the most diehard, deepest pocketed AK enthusiast. Kinda hard to pick up a lowly WASR after that.
