In this photo released by Venezuela's Miraflores Press, Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez handles a Russian AK-103 rifle as his Defense Minister Orlando Maniglia looks on in Fort Tiuna in Caracas, Venezuela, Wednesday, June 14, 2006, at a ceremony where Chavez replaced his military's aging Belgian FAL rifles with new Russian AK-103 rifles, and in turn gave the Belgian FAL rifles to the reserves. Chavez's plans to build the first Kalashnikov factory in the Western Hemisphere are sowing fears Venezuela could start arming leftist Latin American allies with the fabled Russian assault rifles.

Cool. Another source for imported AKs. I wonder what the build quality is, and if we're likely to be able to get any here.

And maybe the new ammo production will relieve 7.62x39 supplies here.

At least this particular terrorist doesn't look like a school girl when he holds a rifle. :P
