The AK47 Shopping Guide: How to get a deal before the Apocalypse

Are you ready for Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States ? Millions of legal gun owners as well as myself are horrified by that very thought. The looming prospect of this happening is real, that being said if you are in the market for a military style sporting rifle like the AK47 there is no better time than right now to start researching and buying one.

The AK47 market in the United States is ridiculous right now to say the least. There has never been a better time to buy an AK47 series rifle than right now. The problem is if you are unfamiliar with the AK47 and the current market the whole thing can make your head spin. I can’t think of anyone who would be happy with making a firearms purchase with misinformation about a gun.

That brings us to the $700-1000 question ? Where to go to get information on the ins and outs of the market. We here at The Arms Guide put our trust in two of the most experienced and valued members of the AK47 community, Rob Ski of AK Operators Union Local 47-74 and legendary AK47 gunsmith Jim Fuller of Rifle Dynamics. Theses to gentlemen have helped myself and many others in the gun community to make sure our dollars are spent on top quality products and accessories for the AK47.

In this short series to follow we will bring you articles, videos and information on topics that concern the AK47. We plan to cover a Top 5 Upgrades you should invest in, proper ammunition and magazine selection as well as reviews of top selling AK47 style rifles currently on the market. To start this series off I’d like to show you the first of two videos covering this, The first one is from Jim Fuller and covers budgets AK’s and the second one is from Rob Ski of the AK Operators Union Local 47-74. Welcome to the  start of the “AK47 Shopping Guide”

About the Author

Rick Dembroski I spent 10 of the best years of my life as a USAF Civil Engineer, traveling the globe, drinking beer, and causing chaos. My superiors dubbed me "King of Useless Knowledge" a title that I still love to this day. I separated in 2002 as a SSgt (E5- in the USAF), and chose to stay in the frozen north of Alaska, currently I work as an Emergency Management Specialist where I combine my love of chaos and preparedness to ensure people know how to survive disasters.
