Its in good condition. Maybe a little work and you don't even need to replace the guns.

More important then the money itself, a way to make money. I started off by getting some doing one time jobs, then would buy and sell. A AK-47 might cost $200 in Moscow and $15 in Dagestan today, but the reverse 35 years ago.

You were buying and selling Ak's?
Are you a real person or have you made yourself up? (no offence!)

I'm not even gonna ask what a 'one time job' is, glad you're in Russia TBH

Bobby: Good video, The Corsair is my favourite USN plane. Unfortunately I've never found one just lying around in a lake..

One time jobs were washing windows, walking peoples pets, normal errands. And yes I was buying and selling AK's, which is illegle in most parts these days. The blackmarket was everywhere in the 70s, so I got myself started and now make my own ammunition which I legally sell to conventional armies, such as the Turkish army. Don't try that in the modern world though, the U.S.A army might arrest you. Make use of capitalism for change and go commercial.

For the last one in the world, its kind of a good thing it crashed where it did.

i have sold AKs, MP5s, FNs, G3s, Galils, MACs...you name it. more the semi automatics than full auto versions...and all perfectly legal too. had an american Federal Firearms License for over 25 years and 3 years with a class 3 tax stamp ( fully automatic and other NFA weapons..sawed off shotguns and silencers). with the black market in moscow an ak for $200 US? i do find that hard to believe. even the old milled reciever one would go for more. maybe 200 for a worn 70s era out SKS but a full born rock and roller ak. hmmmmm. i know you guys had a $#!Tload of them and all but still too cheap. in the mountains of pakistan or afganistan you will still pay a hefty sum for one...an ak-74 going much higher.

Nice to know someone of a similar trade. I usually only sell old Soviet stuff, but I've sold a Mi-35 down in Venezuella a few times. Pakistan is an interesting place, I used to buy alot of knives from there.

i've never visited the place. my brother-in-law, an orthopedic surgeon, was there (pakistan) a couple times...on medical training missions during the mid 80s.
