Hey guys it seems to be the same as an AK 47 except in a smaller caliber which is similar to our .223 in our M-16. Are they readily available? A few people i know recomend getting an SAR-2? It is supposedly the AK-74 for civillians,with a pistol grip stock too. How available is the ammo for these guns? I would imagine it has been used extensivly through out the world just as the other AK series were.Are parts available?
Thanks,45automan

Everything you need to know is at www.ak-47.net The ammo is still fairly available, though a recent ban on importation may restrict some of the primary suppliers-namely the Tula and Ulyanosk (sp?) arsenals in Russia. They are currently the only folks I know of making the 5.45x39 ammo. If importation is indeed banned, you may have a tough time getting ammo for the SAR-2 (Which is a great weapon). You can check them out at www.aimsurplus.com They're not exact copies of the AK-74, but they're not bad!
