AK47....
Is what got me hungry for a Model 8/81, before I had even heard of the the great 8&81, I thought oh Mr. Kalishnikov what an inovator you are!! Only to find out that Saint John was behind his oh so original design lol. So having built a couple commie guns I now have stuff to get rid of to feed my 81 I have coming this Friday! So I'm glad to be here to gain some insight on what will be my hunting work horse!

After reading your post Telson I was actually sitting here tonight looking at my model 8 and thinking it appeared too be the bastard child of Soviet arms. The humpback receiver of an SKS, the rotating bolt and safety of an ak-47, and the trigger bow and magazine of the Mosin Nagant...

Actually the soviet arms would be the bastard child of their grandfather the Model 8!
