Those old Yugos are stouter than other akm’s because they were built to be grenade launchers. I built one and it was much harder than the romie’s and bulgie. Otherwise a great rifle.
Gun shops can only give you wholesale value so they have room for profit. I buy and sell in parking lots without problem. Don't flash guns around so you don't scare the timid. Search for sell and law here for legal details.
Odd but I couldn't find a gunsmithing section so I hope this is OK here. So what's the best blasting media for painting an AK and where's a good place in Indy area to buy it? Will use Aluma-Hyde II.
Typically manufacturers and retailers are allowed to clear out any inventory they have. For instance, AK kits with barrels were sold for a long time after new imports were blocked.
