Well, I did what I told myself and all my friends what I would never ever do today. I purchased an AK47, specifically the Romanian version. Cost me a whopping $12.51 with my background check, fee and taxes included. Price seemed right.

The full story is it was at Cabelas and anyone who'se known me long here knows I tend to amass a lot of points there. Tag price was $349 which I felt to be pretty good on it's own. I had a fellow there that actually knew something about them to go over it for me and he passed it with flying colors. Not sure why they priced it the way they did but I'm not complaining. They had three others all in the $550 range. This just came in yesterday, it wasn't cleaned, the barrel had a lot of crap (powder residue) in it. First thing I did was run a patch through it and then did the usual flipping out that there was a hole in the barrel that took me all of 5 seconds to realize was the gas port. Bore looks pristine. I already had the bayonet for this one but it came with a TAPCO magazine that while I don't want to replace it, I would like to get a Romanian magazine just to have. It's also missing it's cleaning rod and cleaning kit in the butt stock. I also need a proper sling for it. I did manage to locate a cleaning rod but need some help in determining what is the correct military sling for this and where I might find a proper magazine for it.

Or perhaps I'm barking up a tree here as this is an import/export model and may not have anything particular that fit it.
