I'm so sad...

Huge change to the world and highly successful design.

Until the barrel wears out then it's easier to buy another one then try to change the barrel. Only reason the ar platform is better. Easier to change the barrel and send it back out.

Well this is the passing of a legend. Great man and seriously it was mainly ripped off from what he saw from the German stg44.

Well the Russians didn't have the ability to stamp and Mill such precision parts. This rifle made by rock can be deadly.

Yes afghanis made these with rocks. Don't ask me how. I'd rather not.

But yeah love or hate him this man changed the world. Is a huge way.

May he rest in peace.
