Phantom Captain Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Here's a bit of my collection that fits in with the topic at hand... This is my much loved Waffen Werks Bulgarian AK-74 5.45x39mm with plum furniture. bayonet is East German, hat is Soviet-Afghanistan war surplus as is the canteen. Camo jacket is modern Russian Flora pattern. 12 mags, 8 are Russian plum and 4 are Bulgarian black. The two mag pouches on the floor are Russian surplus and the one on top of the ammo crates is Bulgarian surplus. Plus....just a wee bit of ammo. :eek: Without the bayonet attached... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Captain Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 Here is the 74 with my milled receiver 1960 Polish AK-47 7.62x39mm. The old and the new. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Very nice. I've been lusting after an AK for the past couple of weeks actually, but unfortunately have little to zero disposable income at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Captain Posted October 20, 2011 Author Share Posted October 20, 2011 If you are going to get one I highly suggest getting a 74 over the 47. Just a whole different rifle with the smaller faster cartridge and the muzzle brake gives them almost zero recoil. It's a surprisingly accurate round, pretty much comparable to the 5.56mm under 150 yards, IMHO. People who say AKs are inaccurate pieces of junk have never handled or shot a 74. Of all my collection it's absolutely my favorite rifle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Field Marshal Blücher Posted October 20, 2011 Share Posted October 20, 2011 Yeah, I've had recommendations both ways. A lot of people like the 5.45mm AKs, others say that the 7.62x39 gives such a different experience from 5.56 that it's worth trying out on its own. Personally, I'm leaning 5.45 myself, but at this point the actual prospects of getting an AK are probably still months if not years away, so it's mostly a thought experiment at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 :cool: Hi Phantom Captain, That is a nice collection of automatic rifles you have there. I would like to have these too. Do you think it is possible one could order them via the Internet and have them shipped over by special delivery (or something) to Europe? But seriously, you have got some beautifull rifles in your collection. And you just may have inspired me to make another CMA mission in the near future. It probably will involve more units then one company though, which I know you prefer. But you could always give it a try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 A bigger CMA scenario sounds fun... With a small outfit, one little error can cost you the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Well, a little bigger and a serious outift actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely a wise decision! Unless of course, you are looking to join Combat Team Alpha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
