Here is the deal. If you have a local Dunham’s Sports near by you can probably pick up an inexpensive AK-47 (except in Kalifornia, ymmv). Starting around $250.00 they sometimes go on sale for $239.00. You can lay it away in many stores and even laying away a couple is ok.

The caveat with these inexpensive com-bloc weapons is that they are usually left overs from the Klinton era Assault Weapons Ban and have been assembled by CAI (Century Arms International) to comply with those outrageous regulations. Most inconvenient is the narrow magwell that allows only single stack magazines to be loaded.

A dremel with a grinding wheel can easily expand the magwell out to accept the much more popular and common double stack magazines. If you are not a do-it-yourselfer then there are usually a few good gunsmiths that can tackle the project inexpensively.
