Vector Arms AK-47:  Mini Review:

North Salt Lake has a wicked little gun company called Vector Arms.  Vector makes a couple nice politically incorrect firearms, namely the AK-47 and the Uzi.

The one I picked was the basic model with a folding stock and all black plastic furniture to keep things sinister.  It's a good looking gun with awesome reliability and exceptional accuracy for the AK. 

The Vector underfolder is easy to shoot with the stock extended and locked.  The stock isn't the most comfortable to shoot with, but the advantage of being able to just about cut the length in half makes up for it.  The 7.62X39MM round is not especially powerful.  It is not especially accurate.  It's more of a social cartridge, it mixes well with others and prefers groups.  This is something the AK is especially good at... delivering large quantities of power in short order.  It is able to do so thanks to one of the most brilliant automatic rifle actions ever developed.  The action needs little attention, care, cleaning.  If things get gummy inside, open the action up, blast it out with a can of Hornady One Shot, pull a bore snake through the barrel... done. 

The Vector is better than most AK's I've ever seen, the only thing I've seen better is a Krebs which costs twice as much.   Cost wise for this guy, your looking at about the same price as a Romanian WASR-10 and an SKS.    If you want one, contact the boys at FBMG to get yours on order.  When you do order one, order about 4 extra magazines to go with it because they only come with one.  Actually, mine didn't come with any magazines at all, but did get a good price on the gun and I had a couple mags laying around anyway.

The 4 Rules of Firearms Safety:

1.  Handle all firearms as if they were loaded.

2.  Never point the gun at anything you're not willing to destroy.

3.  Keep your finger off the trigger and out of the trigger guard until you have made the decision to fire the weapon.

4.  Know your target, and know what is beyond the target.
