I'm rocking an original Norinco Type 56 SKS that's been passed down, I know it's not technically an AK-47, but it's the 7.62x39mm granddaddy! I kept the beautiful laminated wood furniture because you just don't see craftsmanship like that anymore. The only modification I've ever made is adding a Tech Sights aperture system, it dramatically improves the sight picture without ruining the vintage aesthetic. She's been a safe queen and a range monster for decades, and the reliability is simply unmatched. I’ll take that fixed 10-round mag and that unstoppable bolt carrier over any new rifle every single day
