nice!! I've got an original romanian. Mine isn't as fancy as yours, but I like it because it is original and came with the original 'start your own revolution' kit. Two stocks, oil canisters, cleaning stuff, all fitting neatly into the stock.

It's nice to see someone else here that's into collecting pieces of our military history.

yeah i am big into military guns i love russian Military weapons Very much







and yes that Pistol is a russian TT-33 And it was Built in 1953

[tigisfat]

Russian weapons are my favorite too, mainly because of the big dark cloud associated with anything Russian while I was growing up. That, and they're affordable.

I like the TT-33.
As for AK type weapons, I'll stick to my Valmet M-76.
I also like the older historical stuff. How many modern Glocks do you need? (Already got my Glock 19).

Ah, yes. The Glock model 19 is one of the finest pistols out there.

I can definately give a thumbs up for the love of russian weapons. While I do not own a rifle, I have a russian Soviet made Makarov PM 9X18MM pistol. That gun is simple to take apart, a breeze to clean, and put back together. Need absolutely 0 tools unless I want to take the firing pin out, at which rate the cleaning tool doubles for that purpose. Never had 1 ounce of trouble out of it.. Now my Springfield Armory 1911, or Ruger .22 MkIII target shooter now those are a whole other story. That Ruger especially has what seems like a million pieces to it. I will have to join the photo fun and put up some when I get home.

Nice looking WASR there cirrus!

I'm not too big on the modern semis though...I've had a few SKS carbines over the years, but now that the surplus import ammo isn't as cheap as it was 15-20 years ago they're just not as much fun to take to the range anymore.
Probably won't be in the market for another surplus semi until I find me another AG42 Ljungmann or an FN49. I have seen a few SVT-40s on the market too and I wouldn't mind that model either.

Make that 440 yards if you are an exceptional shot with exceptionally good conditions .....

I don't own a Rifle... the military lets me use them.... but my Rifles i use are the AW50F for Anti-Materiel and the L96A1 for Anti-Personnel, both will engage and take out/down a target at 2112yds (And yes i've made that kind of shot on the range before). i opt to carry a sidearm, a Sig Sauer P226 if it's available and all other time i'm to be found with an SA80A2 with the UGL... gotta love my job at times...

AK47 is a good weapon, easy to maintain, you could bury it in a swamp for years, dig it up and pull the trigger, it'd still go bang, although now surpassed by the AK-101 and partially by the AK-2000, it is still a formidable weapon, but i still say full auto you couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from 20 paces.. TT-33 is a great sidearm, rugged, robust and packs a punch, gotta admire the Tokarevs, Makharovs... in fact all Russian weapons, they're built to last... and built to blast... SKS being another prime example of a good cheap reliable rifle...

And only on semi-automatic..

The punch of that 7.62mm round is great though, and it was built to last.

[Matt Wynn]

The punch of that 7.62mm round is great though

I can confirm that and i only caught a ricochet off a wall as i was darting across a T-Junction... dropped me in my stride... as i said they're rugged and go bang when you need them to... good weapons last thing any soldier wants it to be downrange from one in the aim and his weapon jams... "Stoppage" usually being shouted followed by several obscenities

the NATO standard 7.62mm round is longer and more aerodynamically stable, designed for penetration over longer ranges... the Russian or AK Standard has a nice habit of hitting the target then tumbling causing greater internal trauma, shorter round when compared... means it isn't as stable after the hit... still great Kit there Cirrus... anyone who's never fired an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare/L96A1 I urge them to try it, chambered for .338 Lapua it is my weapon of choice these days, i fired 1 shot on the range and i was hooked... what is the maximum accurate range of an AK47? about 350yds?
