Wanted to buy an AK for a truck gun and walked out with a Model 34-1...$400 OTD. I'm a happy camper!
Went to buy an AK-47, ended up with something a 'lil different...

Good switch and nice gun! Not much firepower for a truck gun but much more fun for the buck. You can play all day for pennies a cylinder. Have you thought about an SKS for the truck? Hits the same as an AK, much cheaper if it gets stolen and does not freak the public out as much if you should pull it out, or if a nosey cop sees it. A few stripper clips on the ready and you are set. Yo can still find them for around $200 or so. The little paratrooper model is reasonably compact if you can find one. Very nice kit gun though. You will love it more every time you shoot it.

You got a better gun. Plus it's a lot cheaper to shoot. They're still making Aks but not Model 34s. Congratulations.

Very nice. AK's are ok though I got rid of both of mine. There will always be tons out there...your model 34 however...great choice.

Yup, didn't take much thought at all to "repurpose" my AK funds for this little beauty.

Man, another 4" Model 34 for a great price! Those are hard to find down here for some reason.
You did the right thing. Another AK is right around the corner but that Model 34 was a great find!

As an ak47 is a full auto where exactly are you buying these?

When people refer to their AKs they are generally referring to the Semi auto modern sporting rifle in the shape of the AK made in E. Europe. Easier to say "AK". How about. ...its a semi auto AK. If you tell me you havd a modern E. European sporting rifle......is it a Bikal? A Saiga? Maybe a Vepr? No no its a Yugo PAP. Or is it a Hungarian AMD? Could be a Yugo Black Arrow! I want one of those!!! I would also like the semi auto rifle with the pan style flat mag that attaches to the top and shoots the 7.62x54 caliber round aka Dyegtarev but i cant call it that because all of them were full auto.
Otherwise we should refer to 9mm as the 9x19 or 9 mm parabelum because there is also a 9x18 and 9x21 and 9x39 and many more. 45 should be 45acp otherwise how do I know you didnt just buy a new 1911 chambered in 45lc.
BTW this thread is 3 years old!

My homies on the street. Slip me a c-note and I'll hook you up. You need a throw down piece in your kit, right?

Don't let the looks of the AK47 fool you. It is the same thing as an AR15, it looks like a M16 but it is a semiautomatic firearm. The lamestream media wants everyone to believe that all black guns are machine guns.
What's really funny is that this thread is from 2010 originally.
But, for those of you now reading this as an AK-47 thread, let me note that it is rather interesting that with respect to the military M-16 and it's civilian, semi-auto version, called the AR-15, NOBODY calls the rifles most of us buy anything other than ARs or, in carbine form, sometimes M4s but usually you hear AR. Since the AK-47 really didn't have a civilian counterpart, it never got itself a nice, non-mil-spec title in its semi-auto version. I have no idea why this is so. EVERYBODY calls them AKs or AK-47s.

The original AK-47 had a milled receiver and the later stamped receiver gun was technically an AKM. Over the years I have owned lots of AKs (semi-auto) and semi auto AKM's, not to mention various SKS's. I am now down to one milled AKS 762 (CHICOM 7.63x39) and two AKMs's. All are good shooters with the milled gun being the best. What I don't have is a M-34. I would love to find a really nice one for my collection. Two totally different guns, with different purposes, but if I found both at the same time and cash on hand was limited, it would go to the 34. No doubt!!
