Hi all,
First, I know absolutely nothing about the AK platform. I have a family member with this rifle NIB, and am considering purchasing it. The box label says IO USA AKM47C, 7.62 x 39.
The bottom of the receiver by the magwell is stamped:
Elk River
Houston, TX
Model ERTD
The left side is stamped:
R.P.G. Arms
south Houston, TX
Trigger and black plastic furniture are all marked Tapco. So... Is this a nice gun to keep and shoot? I have always loved the look of the AK with the underfolder stock, does the furniture all exchange between all of the AK variants? I have nice ARs, so I don't know what I really would expect from this gun, just something else for the collection.
Thanks in advance for any info, I will keep up my onlime searches for anything else.
Darren
