Plum Beautiful

I believe (don't recall for sure) that these pics came from Guns.ru.  I'm not a big "plastic" furniture fan, but I do dig plum.  If I had to go plastic I'd want these handguards for my side folder, and these mags!

On display at CIA headquarters in Langley, VA is what is reported to be Osama bin Laden’s AKMS, which was found next to his body after he was killed by Navy Seals during the famous midnight raid.  Aside from this AK belonging to Osama, it has some interesting stampings.  It has both the Izhmash stamp, and what appears to be a Chinese character.  That’s an interesting piece of history there.

SVD Celebrates its 50th anniversary of service in the Russian military forces.


I'm a bit late in posting this, but July 3, 2013 marked the 50 anniversary of the SVD being adopted by the Soviet Army.  There are rumors of these rifles possibly being imported once again to the U.S.  I'm not counting on it, but it sure would be a lot of fun to own and shoot one.  Some of the members of my favorite Russian AK based forum (Guns.ru) posted photos of these fine specimens below.
