Read CAREFULLY...no more Russian rifles including the loved Moisn (if it was made in Russia).

Uhmm that doesn't say a VEPR is banned from import. I think you should read what you post more careful before telling anyone else to

VEPR?

LOL I said a factory russian, not a neutered rifle.


Epic fail.

How is an ak built on an RPK Reicever(50% heavier and tough as hell),Rpk fully adjustable sight,comes in 4 cal up to 308,and is regarded as the most accurate ak in the world.

Short of a bayonet lug how is this a neutered rifle?

and another article.
Russian Arms Exporter Sanctioned Over Iran - washingtonpost.com
Hope that helps.
I also called Home the importer for these.They have XCR's but no longer can import VEPR's and have none in stock anymore.He said "best of luck finding one...you may try gunbroker."

i like the Jefferson quote...

Are AK's more accurate than an SKS? It has always been my understanding that SKS's were designed for maximum blood shed at 300yards with lots of durability. Accuracy was not a major concern. Assuming this is true, Are AK's more accurate or is it kind of the same thing? Thanks.

With my experiance, it's about the same at around 150 yards or so. I own a Chinese SKS, and a Romanian AK-47 WASR-10, and, again, like I said, with what I have shot, it's about the same. I have actually got better grouping at 200+ yards with my AK then I have with my SKS!

 

[Charles Church]

Sorry, wrong topic!

Dunno where you lkive, but I have to drive 1 Hour from Fishers to New Castle to the Wilbur Wright State Range, "free range use" but has a "DNR Nazi" standing by to harass you, small 200 mtr range for my paper plate shooting AK.
Dawn to Dusk Wed-Sun , closed unless a STATE holiday on Mon-Tues.

The Mosins are still OK-see highlighted text. It appears that AKs and SKSs are not, however, unless they go by some name I don't know.
