Anyone bought a Kalashnikov?

[BoyzToyz]

Have been considering one of these after they featured in EVO mag at the back end of last year:

Just wondering if anyone has bought one yet? If not, I might just test the water anyway...the AK 9015 or AK 1000 maybe...

They have the AK 1000 here at £389:

Just wondering if this could be a future classic?

They also have the AK 9015 here ...seems good value at £179.99:

They just seem to have all the ingredients of a future classic...The Kalashnikov pedigree (and social comment on giving up guns to make watches) combined with Swiss manufacture.....and good looking to boot. Have ordered mine! What could possibly go wrong!

Which did you go for? I'm liking both the current AK-1000 and the discontinued AK-001.

I played safe and went for the AK 9015 and have to say that I am delighted with it - once I worked it out from the less than helpful instructions! To a previous reply - I didn't say Kalashnikov were precision engineers with their AK weapons range( although that inference could have been drawn from the swiss manufacture)...but they made a weapon still in use on every continent because of its reliability and simplicity and, like it or not, the Kalashnikov Assault Rifle is an iconic symbol of the last century.

P.S.

I have a Tag for back-up!
