I guess it all depends on what you want to do with it, but, like barefootbob said, if you get an AK, get one made in the eastern block, AK's are not all created equal. The AK, ammo and parts/accesories are cheaper than the other guns too and as a bonus, you can get steel cored bullets that will go through block walls....you know...in case you want to target shoot through a block wall
by the way, can I use your out of california address so I can buy one too??
