AK47 rust bucket

[Dannyboy53]

Some of you might have seen this on Gunboards' site I believe. Story goes it was taken from some poachers in an African country and supposedly still fires. I would NOT be the one to pull the trigger on this abomination. But it is a testament to the resiliency of the AK!

Now...let the bidding begin!

After tracing it back as far as I could, here's a bit of the backstory on this one, it's a old Chinese type 56:

Popular Mechanics also has a blurb about it:

It's also one various Russian sites (translated via "The Google"):

Fascinating running-man, thank you. This old Kalashnikov has generated considerable interest around the net!
