I bought one of the Romanian AK packages about 18 months ago. It's not one of the 'best' AK's, but it came with a sling, oiler, cleaning kit, 4 mags, a correct but crappy bayonet, and a case.

After a trip to the range I went back and ordered 2 more of them. At the time they were going for $350.00. Ammoman was selling Russian Mil-Spec 7.62 x 39 for 189.00 a case delivered. I bought 5.

Yea, I've got 'better' rifles. But if someone told me that tomorrow morning I was going to be dropped onto the surface of another planet and could only take one gun, it'd be one of those AK's.

Based on my personal combat experience in the Nam for a year and a half I'd have to agree that in a really bad situation and even worse environment I'd have to take the AK-47 every time. I loved my M14 as well and the M16/AR15 just set in the bottom of my tracked vehicle gathering dust. Give me a 47 when the chips are down every time. You just can't beat it for dependability and ruggedness.

That's how I feel about my AKs, too.
