AK Review???

[Tibbs735]

I think an "AK 101" would be good for British preppers, as we may, as you said, run into them after the SHTF. I wonder how the people in the Khyber Pass workshops rifle the barrels? That's the one part I can't work out.

I realise that this is a UK site and we are not allowed to have guns.

But might I suggest that as you intend to expand next time your up the range that you put all this operation and handling into an article and get SD to post it.

We are not allowed guns but come POST SHTF, thought you would like that, we are likely to come across, appropriate or whatever and to know points about them would be helpful.

We are allowed guns. You could own a Saiga 12 with a massive drum magazine loaded with rifled slugs if you are willing to go through the paperwork. You can own handguns, if you hunt deer regularly and the local police understand your need to be able to humanely dispatch deer or other livestock at close range.

Thanks for this and look forward to the next bit.

But as I said before why not put it all into an article, with the pictures, which are I think a must. This is something that can be most help to us in UK. As you said Charles tried to help but the links are aimed at gun familiar US.

This is really good and somewhere you lot over the pond can really help us this side.

If SD wishes me too I can cut and paste the posts onto a separate document and submit if for permanent access on the webpage. Apparently this site does not have "stickies" which allow saving of threads in each section for permanent reference.

My goal here is to teach enough, simply enough, that the unfamiliar can either render the weapon safe, or operate it in a safe manner if one is found.

And if you do find one "post-event" it is NOT something you would want to leave lying for the next person to pick up! Walking past it saying it is dangerous or "none of my business" is leaving it for the next person, who might not be as nice as you are!

Even if you do not intend to use the weapon it is your responsibility to secure it safely and keep it out of the wrong hands.

I'd certainly be appreciate the entire article being cut and pasted into word or something that I can easily be used. Saves me downloading and playing about with the words.

I'll post it on the main site.
