I took this baby out and boy is she a beast. Not as smooth as my Sam 7, hopefully with regular use the action will get smoother. I do have to say it's a bit heavy for a stamped receiver but the again it has a 1.5mm receiver and Bulged Trunnion, so it's expected. If you are looking for a nimble lightish stamped AK47 I would go with something else. If you want a beautiful engineered and rugged AK47 that won't cost you 2K then this is the right choice for you.
