Nail hit on head. I present the same argument to any Apple fanboy I meet. Apple products are a status symbol/fashion statement. Period. From a technology standpoint, they are always inferior and obsolete to the competition. The only thing that Steve Jobs "revolutionized" was using lawyers to create a monopoly and destroy capitalism. Not only is ridiculous $30 adapter proprietary... everything associated with an Apple device is proprietary, and costly to it's end-user. I feel sad for the morons who wait on line for 3 days to pay $400 for a shitty phone every 6 months.

Ditto. The magnesium slide on the Walther was why I went Ruger. Mine has been 100% reliable, although haven't shot it much (200 rounds).

People, people! This thread was supposed to be a simple "Hi, here's a link to an AK, enjoy" type thread. Not a place for everyone to argue and puke-out their individual opinions. Let's please stop arguing, and start posting links to High-quality, "traditional-ish", 7.62x39 AK's. I'd love to find a Yugo AK for sale locally, within my price range. However, I'm also willing to consider an Arsenal SLR-107.

How does this fine rifle look to you? Not exactly traditional, but good quality and "turn-key" ready. Would need vendor to pin muzzle brake and cut bayo lug, or have them ship to someone who could: http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=1216&virtuemart_category_id=23&Itemid=762

Caliber choice is pretty simple: Cost, and stopping power. I envision my AK to be "traditional" in all aspects. Including using only iron sights, wood stock, 7.62x39 ammo, etc. This actually brings-up another question... 7.62x39... or 5.45x39 (ak74) ? EDIT: Nevermind... 7.62x39 is what I want.

I'm looking for a more traditional AK.

Thanks all! I'll PM Vlad, but didn't want to bother him directly. He probably gets 4000 Q's a day about AKs. Are standard Arsenal or Yugo AK's 922 compliant? See... this is what I'm talking about. Already I'm delving into the world of researching AK's. Not that I think it's not worth the effort... It's just that I'd rather take advantage of someone else's knowledge, than go through the whole "you can't have the best choice because NJ sucks balls." I'd rather not know what I can't have, and just get links to what I can buy.

Whats wrong hollywood? Why does every television show need to have "office drama" in order to be produced? Seriously. Top Shot for example. Whats with the obviously fake in-house drama scenes? WHO CARES?!?!?! Show the challenges, cut to commercial, come back to another challenge. Sons of Guns is a perfect example. Drama, drama, drama... and a gun or two.

I don't mean suggestions, advise, etc. I literally need someone who is knowledgable to help me select, and purchase a quality AK. So far my research has led me to believe that the top 2 best choices are Yugo, and Arsenal AKs. But then the NJ legality question comes into play. The "NJ legal" issue is so frustrating that I would rather ask a fellow forum member to choose a rifle for me. Criteria: 7.62 $500-999 No WASRs, or cheapo rifles. Double-stack mag well (possible?) Sounds lazy, I know. An quite frankly it is part laziness, but mostly frustration.

I'm a big fan of the ASUS offerings. Great laptops with tons of features packed-in, at excellent price. This one has a 17+" screen, but gives you an idea. http://www.microcenter.com/product/388513/ROG_G75VW-RS72_173_Laptop_Computer_-_Black

Someone else can chime-on break-in period. Steel ammo depends on the rifle. My franken-AR eats steel ammo all day. My higher quality AR won't cycle a single magazine of steel without jamming. Tighter tolerances I guess.

I'll never forget that day.

Oh yes, CCW most definitely.

Good luck and thank you!

Hey Bud, Great to meet you. Awesome day, and one I'll never forget. Let me know when you decide to take another of Cam's classes. I'm down for Pistol, Carbine 2, and shotgun. -Dan

Thank you Cam for a fun, educational, and kick-ass day of Defensive Carbine training. As an instructor, I found you to be very knowledgeable and professional, yet approachable and open to questions about every topic that came to mind. I learned alot more than I thought I would. The class was fast-paced, and allowed for a boat load of trigger time. Overall 500+ rounds fired (not including pistol rounds). My fellow classmates, including fellow forum member checker50, were awesome. Several of them had previously attended some of Cam's other classes. Having repeat customers tells me alot about Cam's instruction, and after my experience it's easy to see why. Overall much better experience than I could have hoped for. I'll definitely be attending Cam's Defensive Carbine II (when available), as well as his pistol and shotgun courses.

Right here. She was HOT in Hackers... but now looks like a crack baby. All of Hollywood has gone ultra-crackhead-thin. Case in point: Carmen Diaz. HOT in the Mask (with Jim Carrey). Now looks like a stage 4 cancer patient.

Good job on posting this article. Not sure how you guys find this stuff, but keep'em coming!

How about a WWI trench knife? Are they illegal?

You lost me here. Any weapon of any kind can be used either offensively or defensively. The Law is the Law and there's no two ways around it. So if it's illegal because Lautendouche has sand in his vagina, well we can't do much about it. But the logic you're using scares me. How is a pair of brass knuckles any different from say a pipe, lead-lined gloves, or those key chain Kubotans? EDIT: I hate NJ, and I'm angry.

Yes, no, maybe a convoluted idiot law which doesn't clearly state either way?

This video led me to watch some Ted Nugent videos. I love that man.
