Oh and ammo is ridiculously cheap for these as well. The guy I bought it from bought first then read the reviews and wasn't happy. Believe it or not I purchased the new rifle and 6000 rounds for 700 dollars . Happy day for me
I have a century polish tantal and the fit and finish is very nice. Emptied a 30 round mag into a berm when I first bought it just to make sure it would protect me from the Zombies. Haven't checked for key holing though was gonna but only had the one mag and couldn't stop pulling that trigger...
Bought mine used for 400 I've had it for a couple years now and I love it. Very accurate. It's an older model 226 9mm and it's definitely been shot but still shoots better than I can. I love it.
I would suggest an AK, an ak is the rifle equivalent of a glock pistol, not very pretty but very functional. Probably hands down the most bang for ur buck. Easy to clean and maintain and like the glock and energizer bunny it keeps going and going........ also ammo is readily available and...
You could get both an ak and an sks.......combine the two so to speak and try out a norinco sks-m or d. They're a Chinese sks that accepts ak mags kinda like having a milled ak for a lot less.
