I bought mine at about the same time. If I had known what would take place just a few years later I'd have bought, like, five of them at that price. |

Just a thought - I recently purchased a DPMS AR-10 for $800. I know - I know...DPMS is not the "hot" brand, but I have been placing groups in the three inch range at 450 yards with little effort. Actually a damn fine rifle for the money.
It came completely MIL spec. The only thing I've changed was to put a Nickel Boron BCG from Palmetto State - $200. Just a thought. Another thought...Cabelas routinely sells the Mosin Nagants for around $125. You will be hard pressed to find a better long range rifle cheaper than that (with the exception of the SKS). |

Well, I've narrowed it down to the C39 V2 AK or LZEN's recommendation for the VZ 58.
I've read a shit ton of professional reviews and opinions and I'll lean to the latter if I can find one that's reasonable. They seem hard to come by. In fact that is my only concern would be parts. |

Asking the question as an ignorant Brit how easy is it to get hold of a Piece in the US?
I hear stories about buying them in Walmart and some banks offering them as a joining gift. Is this true? |

In Montana, Alaska, Wyoming and Texas you can get hand guns, ammo and beer from vending machines. Just swipe your EBT card and you got yourself a fully automatic Smith & Wesson revolver and Schlitz malt liquor.

Here in Kansas, you can buy ghost guns at any Quik Trip or 7-Eleven. They even come with .30-caliber clips! |

I have never seen a bank offer them as a gift. If you buy a gun in a retail store, you have to pass a background check. Yes, Walmart sells rifles. Still, they won't sell you one if you've been convicted of a felony or domestic violence and a number of other things.

My Remington .308 tops out at an even 3 pound pull. But it was ( with all the crap) twice the cost. |
