I just picked this up last Friday night. I've been wanting to get a quality AK for a while now and this seemed like a pretty good deal. It's an Arsenal SLR95 that looks like it's got pretty low miles on it.
If you can identify the round in this picture you'll have some bragging rights.
Everything in the pictures was bought as a package for $750 out the door. There were 5 tapco mags and two steel mags and one 5rd mag.
The only addition to the package that I bought was another Tapco magazine and I loaded it with a box of Winchester white box 7.62x39mm FMJ that I bought so I could compare. The tapco mag had to be filed just a hair so that it'd lock in the mag well. Looking at the other mags it looks like the previous owner did the same for them.
One question, I chambered a round of the new winchester white box rounds and it seems to have bent the bullet. If you roll it across a flat surface you can clearly see the woble and that the bullet has been pushed back into the case a ways. I've loaded several of the other steel cased rounds and never had the same issue. Are the Winchester rounds just to weak to take the stress of being chambered? This really surprised me.
I'll update with a range report when I get the time to get out and shoot this.
