Quote: Landpimp yes, its the civilan version with the 16 barrel, semi auto only, no padel mag release and some other minor differece. I beleive(but have no desire) that these can be made into a SBR if legal in your area and you go thru the hoops, can even make it into full auto but you need some SPENDY bits.....and again all the legal stuff.

I had thought the long barel would make it unwieldly......but thats not the case. I might add the fake can on it, will make the proportions look better.

these are some one of the last ones brought into the US, 1991 I think

You can shorten the barrel with Federal stamp but you can no longer legallly convert a semi auto in to full auto. That band took place in May of 86. to get a gun converted or to buy a new full auto you have to be in law inforcement and have a need to have a full auto. I had a Colt AR15 converted just before the band. $200.00 to the feds and a back ground check is all it takes to own a full auto. But it has to have been registered before May of 86 to own it' You can buy the full auto parts for them, just don't get caught with the parts in the gun. 89 was the year of the import gun band. I bought a Yugo RPK in 91 that was in was in Customs when the band took place. It took until 91 before they released it. Alot of the guns in Customs had to converted to thumb hole stock and the muzzle nut was fix so that a bayonet won't fit. And they always blame Clinton for all the gun bands. The guns laws he had during him terms lapsed a while back and there were for magazine capacity. I'm not a big fan of Clinton's I'm just like blame going where it belongs. I voted for Bush senior because of his platform of no new gun laws along with no new taxes. Some guy shot some kids in Fresno, CA with a semi AK47. Then next thing you know Baraba Bush has George Bush band the foreign imports. I was colleting the foreign imports at the time because you could buy the stuff cheap. After the band the price of the guns went thru the roof for a while. A preband AK47 were going for over a $1K. Before the band the same gun could be had for $200.00
