Whoa!!! That's a really nice one. And the drum mag is a great touch too...
Those items that came in in the 80s, were largely responsible for firing my enthusiasm for "ComBlock" and "Russian" firearms, ammo, accouterments and so forth. Not to mention that they were really cool in and of themselves. My generation had been in Vietnam and faced these firearms, and a few had made it back as war trophies, but not a lot. Some had come back from Korea in duffle bags, but again not a lot.
And then, one day, here we were, able to buy, at decent prices, brand new versions of these exotic firearms. And until 1986, we could have them converted to full auto, or avoid the $200 tax, and leave them as they were.
P.S.: somewhere I still have a pre-ban PolyTech, with the milled receiver.... I'll try to post a picture of it soon
Talk about kids in candy stores!!! What a time!!
