Everything you need to trick out your SKS, AK, or AR-15.  Check it out!

Went to a gun show today. Seen no AK-47's or SKS units.  Cheapest guns I saw was a few shotguns in the 300$ range and one very small 22 rifle for 250$.  A few cheesy pistols for 250$.  Everything else was 400$ and up. Colt AR-15's were 1500$ and up. PIstols were all 500$ and up for the name brands.

Yeah man,
  I am going to the shop Monday to look at that assault rifle again.
It has to be a AR 10.
I had better get that Pistol Grip Mossberg shot gun that I want soon if they are going for at least $300 at gun shows.

Yeah, I went to the local hardware store yesterday, which is also the local gun/fishing gear, etc... store.   They had 3 AK's there in the high 6 range.
I noticed the guns looked like they were just a tad more than they should be.  Even a .22 looked too expensive to me but not overly ridiculous.  Bought some 9mm rounds though for $13/50. Not bad, so the ammo price jack hasn't hit maine just yet.  I'm going to wally world here in a couple hours to see what is on the shelf for ammo there.  Need some 39mm and some more 9mm, and a charge of shotgun since they are cheap.  Stockin' up just in case prices go crazy in the near future.
Funny thing though, in the local trader mag(called uncle henry's) quite a few SKS that were in the $300 range which surprised me, so people are noticing and trying to get top dollar for their junk all of a sudden. 

Next gun show here is in early January.  One in NH next week though

Yeah,
  I have been stocking up at Wal Mart on 9mm rounds $8/50 Blazer Blast. They are not to bad. Each time I go to Wal Mart with the wife, etc... I pick up a box or 2. 

[mikepmcs]

picked up a box of  rem 39mm/20 for $14 and a box of winch 9mm/100 for $19, not too bad but it was the only box of the 39mm. So, yes I was a little surprised, to see it so empty in the ammo department.  I still have a box of the blazer stuff on my shelf.
I need to go to DICK's Sporting Goods(chain), my buddy says that is the best place still to get ammo(as in selection I imagine)

OK,
  I went back to the local gun shop.
The "Assault Rifle" as they call it, is a Wasr 10.
I can't remember the country it was made in. It comes with 2 , 30 round clips and they want $499
Maybe I should just shop around at the next gun show and get a SKS for $200

The term is "mags" no "clips", clips are what you'd put in a Garand. 

as for the WASR-10 is the romanian version of an AK47 chambered in 7.62....

Are they a nice gun?
I was looking on-line and man there  is allot to learn about an assault rifle. Maybe I had better do more research and stick with a cheap 9mm that looks like a assault rifle.

The WASR-10 is a copy of a Kalishnikov but with lower build expitations! They have been known to have loose mag wells and front sights that aren't exactly centered.

A good "assault" looking rifle in 9mm is a Beretta CX4 Storm although they can be a little pricey. They are semi auto only but are surprisingly accurate and the mags from a Beretta 92F (in 9mm) will work with the CX4.

I like my AR-15 - awesome gun - modular with infinite options as far as build-ups...                 

the AK is a good system as well  however rather limited in the options...     good gun for just plinking but I feel the .223 is a better round than the 7.62...   


If you want to go hardcore screw the assault rifles...    All you need is a Springfield Armory National Match M1A

 I PAID $130 FOR MY SKS new

i want to convert the gun to accept ak cilps .

[oldgold69]

i not going tell you how to do. it but if i did you take the stock from the gun then unclip the magazine from the reciever should swing off put gun back together now you should be able to put a detachable clip in like a ak

[Drache]

Also remember that there are many arguments online saying that the 5.56 and the .223 are DIFFERENT! Military personnel say they are the same and interchangeable while it seems civvies say they are different.

General consensus is that if the gun reads 5.56 you can also use .223 Remingtons, but if the gun reads .223, you should only use .223.

I went to a different shop today and they had brand new WASR 10's for $425
SKS's for $225 new.
I for some reason did not like the WASR 10 so much after I inspected it for some time. I kind of like the SKS I think I am going for the SKS.
Thanks for all the help.
I am on a tight budget and have always wanted this type of firearm.
