My buddy Sam and I were going to go shooting today at Bullseye Ranges but last night the simi truck came with hay. We put up over 300 bales. Anyway, my wife was really hurting (I thought I was going to have to take her to the hospital) so I could not go (Sam is pretty cool). Anyway, I started a E.German build a little while ago and finished it today. Let me tell you, if you are going to build an AK and have access to an E.German, go for it. The quality is second to none. Unlike the Romanian with the tight button release for the folder, the German has a lever that is so easy to operate. This may become my favorite AK. Jack
