Thanks for the info, very interesting stuff. I was not aware of the
chroming involved. Typical high quality stuff from the Chinese as they
always build stuff to the highest level of quality. Ha ha ha. When a
product comes from China, you always know that they take the extra steps
necessary to insure the highest quality of their goods. . right? LOL
I paid $99.0 for it back in the early 1990's. They are not for sale anymore
at the gun stores. When I got it. . it was covered in a strange oil. .
that stuff was everywhere.
It also has a cleaning kit that hides in the butt end under a little flap
that is notorius for getting your finger stuck . . and can be pretty painful
at that.
I kick myself everytime I think about it, as mentioned before, the AK's were
selling for $350. I wish I had been smart enough to have bought three AK's
while I was there.
But not me. . I am the guy who chose, in the early 70's, to buy a GIbson SG
(strange model with mini humbuckers plastic covered) instead of a 1950's
Fender Telecaster that would be worth a lot of money today. . both were
selling, at the time, for $250.0. I guess I never see the future coming!
My son in law had it for a while and bought a thousand rounds of hollow
points. So I now have enough lead to hold off a small army. . for at least
a few minutes.
I guess you can take the seer out and it will fire in automatic mode? Not
sure if I want to mess with it or how hard that is to do?
