Here are some of the weapons that I we use and have acquired here. AK's from everywhere, Yugo RPK's, Romak and Tabuk DMR, and even and original Russian PPSH Burp Gun.

I know that I cant take any of these home but I can certainly shoot the piss out of them here. Enjoy

Wow! Just imagine, stateside, those would be worth well into six figures together if they were legal transferable NFA.

Man o man what a collection. I've always been a fan of the Russian PPShhh but that one on the right looks beat to shit! I have an American TOMMY

GUN version on my bookshelf.

I love the AK in the middle with the bayonet. It looks pretty unusual with the fat pistol grip and the chromed slide. It would break my heart leaving those behind but, on the other hand, it'd be an awfull lot of fun cutting those receivers in half with a blow torch!!!

WOW !!!...............

That brings back memories.......During the first Gulf War we were finding this stuff littering the desert after most of the Iraqis dropped them and ran......

Don't even think about it......Some guys got busted trying to bring them back - Hiding them in electric panels of portable shops, Making false bottoms in tank floors, Hiding them in the tail boom of helicopters - The list goes on........I know it's tempting - Don't Do it!!!

LOL no I would not risk a good job and prison time for a full auto anything. I literally have 25 receivers from old AMD-65's with fire control parts in them I will junk before long. They are of no use to me and these Army kids all want them to take home. I try to tell them it is stupid that they couldnt shoot the damn things anywhere at a range or a private farm in the middle of nowhere someone always snitches.

MEMPILOT the one in that pic is not a Dragunov it is a Romak, the other two are Tabuk DMR that the Iraqis used. They did not like the Tabuks because they were semi auto only and and still shot the same round as the AK but lord they are accurate.

Is this what you were looking for. Made in 1977, Chinese with original optics.

Tacman,

Thanks for the correction. I'm not familiar with the Romak, but I've hauled around a lot of Bulgarians with Drags. I should have looked closer!
