This was not my best gun deal, but I think it was a fair one. I just picked this up for $599.99 this weekend at my LGS. If I could have pried the money out my hand for Black Friday, I could have got it for $579.99. I could have gotten the Saiga AK-47 5.45X39mm for $529.99.
It's funny, 7 years ago I would have never thought I needed one. Now, I thought I'd better get one before I can't.
Saiga AK-47 7.62X39mm. They aren't pretty, but they're tough as nails.
