I found these photos of me from 1970 or 1971.
Broward County Florida. Back when it was all still farmland or swamp.
I was already a good shot by that age.
AHHH! They way you are holding that pistol in the second picture... I hope that was a .22 and the entire slide didn't reciprocate... Yikes!

I added a little something to the collection today- Drako Mini. It is extra noisey and the powder burns outside the short barrel. Otherwise an awesome addition

What magazine is that?
Magpul?
I'm going to attempt to snag a few more 7.62x39 AK.
Everything is going over to NATO 5.56 eventually.

This is that Serbian Red set I briefly had on my Egyptian Maadi. I didn't like the way it looked. So I've made it extra glossy. But I don't currently own an AK that it'd look right on.
I went back to the original military furniture on the Maadi.

This is my newest addition.
It's a 1971 ROMANIAN MD-63 on a MORRISSEY receiver.
It came with the correct. Romanian dong furniture. (And BAKELITE grip and Russian IZHMASH magazine)But I replaced the wood with the "battlefield" surplus set I purchased previously.
I prefer that it LOOKS it's age.

When I suddenly croak late one night, sitting in my chair, watching television.
My wife will have no idea what to do with this growing AK model collection. Or just how valuable they are.
That's assuming your state or the Feds don't pose a mandatory buyback of said AK's. Then your wife won't have any decisions to make on her own! lol

It sounds a lot darker than it is.
Most collectors buy and sell. And in Florida, we're only responsible to make sure we sell to other holders of permits. But not required to keep any sort of elaborate records about sales.
In a petfect world that's great.
But our world is not perfect. So changes will come

Admittedly, I've never owned a firearm and have no intention (at the moment) to ever do so. My interest lies strictly where the 2nd amendment is concerned. I follow the court cases very closely.
