Hopefully this time with less controversy....

I present to you THE rifle of the 20th century and still holding strong in the 21st...the AKM-47.

This one is a little bit more special than what youve seen at your local gun shop. Due to an arms agreement between the US and Russia, Soviet/Russian military arms are banned from import in this country and consequently very rare. This particular rifle is a Soviet made 1977 model AKM-47. Its history is unique. It was originally produced by the Soviets and then later sold to the Iranians at some point. Possibly seeing action in the Iranian-Iraq War.

The Iranians, being hostile towards Israel, then sold the rifle to the terrorist group, PLO or Palestinian Liberation Organization. Along with the help from another anti-Israel terror group, Hezzbollah this AKM along with many others, rockets, missiles, mines and explosives were loaded onto a cargo ship off a Iranian Island.

Luckily on January 3rd, Israeli Commandos intercepted the ship in the Red Sea with out firing a shot and the estimated $15,000,000 worth of weapons were not distributed to the terrorists. Instead one lucky rifle ended up at my house! :D

The rifle is all matching minus the gas tube and is built on a matching serial #ed Nodak Spud receiver. Shes so purdy... :drool:

every person who owns an ak is a terrorist
 
Lol such a funny remark beex. Nice rifle. Never been a fan of any ak or variant but still a nice weapon
 
beautiful and great story!!

is there a tax stamp with it ;)
 
Is it semi auto,what will you do about the gas tube?
 
darn no need for a stamp :(
 
Semi of course, no new machine guns for us lowly civilians made after 1986. :(

The gas tube is what came with the rifle when it came to the country so its original to the rifle, just not from the factory. It functions fine so I wont worry too much about it.
 
awesome AK.

Isn't the wood on this one lighter in colour than usual?
