    I happen to have a few bucks burning a hole in my pocket and am looking at an ak 47 as an investment. GB lists several nib Romanian ak's, but there are few bidders. Which ak do you think has the best potential for appreciation?

    Hi all. I am new to this forum. I am interested in getting a foldunder AK. I have a ? about the ammo. I have noticed it all is listed as 7.62 X 39. Is this the only ammo you can use for the 47's we can buy in this country? Can you buy hotter loads? Someone who knows plesae wise me up on this. Many thanks.[8D]

    I recently purchased a bulgarian slr 95-mb ak 47 with the thumbhole stock. I would like to replace the thumbhole stock with a pistolgrip type stock set. Problem is, I was told if I changed it I would also need to replace more parts to make it 922 compliant. Can someone please explain? Thanks, Riverratt.

    Ok I just picked up a AK 47 in trade from a guy. It has no markings on it besides a serial number. It has synthetic stock and came with the wood stock and Byonet. How do I tell where it it made or what kind it is? Any help? Thanks Frank

    For utility; postban .223. For investment; preban sidefolding .223, 7.62x39 or Norinco Bullpup 7.62x39.

    Never buy a firearm as an "investment"--buy it because you WANT it.Very few things, whether firearms or not, appreciate in value at any rate better than money in the bank (and money in the bank is a minimal return investment). Those few things that do go up in value faster than your money would grow in a CD, normally cannot be predicted in advance--the odds are against you if you buy some "thing" expecting it to become a valuable "collectable".More specific to your question:I have a Romanian SAR-1 which I like a whole lot; but it is manufactured kind-of "roughly"--I'm thinking of adding a Bulgarian AK, or one of the high quality "American made" AK's to my "accumulation" of guns.

    Take a look at the Russian VEPR before making a selection. I own a Romainian SAR 1 and found the VEPR very impressive.

    If your going to buy a weapon for an investment then look at civil war weapons.These are the ones that increase the most in price. The secondary investment level are FA weapons, because no more can be made for the public. Other collector weapons are gun which have been owned by the rich and famous.Good luckHAL
