Ak-47

Ak-47

Does anyone know where i can purchase real ak-47 assault rifles? semi or full auto, im just looking for something as a display and also something to shoot for this summer, will i need a permit or just a background check? id like to purchase one thats from the soviet union, should i just hit up some gun shops?

:snap: lol

arent they illegal here in the US???

I don't think they are illegal. They had them on deadliest warrior, in the Taliban vs IRA or something.

depends on state I think. Here in texas, MG's are illegal I think.

ya dude.. i think they're illegal here... if you want it for display. look into an airsoft rifle. a really good one.

You can get working single-shot replicas here in CO....not sure about Oregon...but AK's are so overrated imo...

Yes you can pick up a semi auto AK-47 clone. You should still be able to find a WASR-10 (Romanian) for under $500. That is basically the lowest "quality" you can find, but I have one and trust my life with it. Most shops will sell you the gun along with two 30 round magazines. The price of 7.62x39mm ammo more then doubled in my area for the past couple of months, but now it seems it's starting to come back down. Don't even think about fully auto, you'll have the ATF at your door.

AK-47 clones, AR-15's, CETME's, SKS's are semi auto and are not "machine guns", there for they are legal anywhere semi autos are legal.

Please explain how you think they are overrated.

AK's became legal a couple of years ago. You can get the semi-auto, but not fully auto(these ARE illegal).

I would assume anything from Russia is going to be fully automatic, and you would have to smuggle it into the states. I've heard stories of people shipping a fully automatic in parts to friends at different addresses, but you would be taking a HUGE risk.

yea as i discovered there are yugo and romanian aks for about 500

In AZ you just have to have a permit for MG takes about a year to get though

everyone wants one because they are "cool" to have, everyone is like ohmahgawd AK-47 so bad ass...i just get sick of hearing about it. even little 12 year olds know what they are they are just too common i guess....id much rather have a SCAR-H or G36...more rare and look a lot more badass. but thats just my opinion

EDIT: i didnt see CB's post...ive heard that too...but ive never shot one...i know that they suck in most games i play too

i'm pretty sure gun laws varies from state to state and even some cities. What may apply in your own state may not apply to the OP in oregon.

im russian so... i guess thats my reason for wanting one, if i was to get a gun it would be ak47 period. i dont get one beause its "cool"

though, isent it weird how us americans always want the foreign guns while the foreigners want our american guns

example: americans want ak's
while euroz want out m4's lol

I THOUGHT YOU WERE UKRANIAN? (whoops caps)

anyway , you can buy any seni auto ak , or ar and make it auto . how do you think people do get them? just about any war veteran , can perform this action. just make sure that you have another unfiled pin around to swap out when your done playing.

i know here in GA mp5's , mac10's , and tek9's are illegal , replica or not. simply because that is state issued close range tactical firearms for swat , bombsquad , and such.

you can get one from the Fed's they always have ak's for you.

do what T.I. did.

here's their information.

FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
Federal Bureau of Investigation
J. Edgar Hoover Building
935 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW Washington, D.C. 20535-0001
(202) 324-3000

Yeah dude, I thought that decal was your Ukraine seal

They are LEGAl to own in California as long as..

You buy them in kit formation minus receiver and build it yourself, when you get the receiver seperate you can only have a semi-auto and no more than a 10 round clip.

Try to steal my corolla and I'll show you lol.

My friend is a super gun guru and did one for me actually, I buy all my firearms from him..

You also do not have to register a gun in california If you bought it or your "dad" gave it to you in 1991 or before as a kid. If you catch my drift.. That's all you have to say.. As long as the #'s clear you'll be ok.

mannnnn stop busting my balls duuuude... i was born in russia but the western tip that was russia were i was born, broke off and became ukraine... tomatoe tomato.

That's interesting, so does your family say they are Russian or Ukraine?

ukraine lol

wow... are you serious dude?

who has an ak-47 and dosent display it.

You'd have to be some kind of dimwit to keep a real firearm out in the open and on display. Maybe you should just stick with an airsoft.

I live in a house... please please please stay out of this thread

and let it die now that i have my answers
