So, gun owners in EU have 15 months to arm themself. Until now I owned only revolver in .38 special, but there´s no time to wait anymore, so next is going to be M70B1 (Yugoslavic copy of AK 47) in 7,62. Then I want to get famous Czech-made SA vz 58, also in 7,62.

Where in EU do you live, that you are permitted AKs and equivalent?

Personally, I would get something semiautomatic in 7.62x51 NATO. AR-10 isn't bad, FN SCAR 17 is very nice. If you want old-school--G3, FN FAL, m14, Sig 510.

Czech Republic. Of course you can´t own automatic rifle (actually you can, but only with exception). So all assault rifles are being converted to semi-automatic.

There are two reasons why I choose these two guns. First is price, I don´t a lot to spend and these are really cheap. Second is that I have passion for eastern arms. AK is just classic and reliable and SA vz 58 is heart thing and according to many people including me the best rifle ever made.

Can you get any American guns?

A garand would be really cool. How about a Famas?

Does taking girls shooting on a date work there?

I am not sure, but there´s probably a way. My friend recently bought M4.

There are many nice rifles out there, but the most of them are financially difficult here. The cost of M70B1 I am going to buy is 250$. Most of the western rifles are at least 5 times more espensive.

Shooting date is probably the best date possible. I took only two girls to range, because ammo is expensive and they must "earn it". But I can´t imagine more interesting thing for girl than shooting real gun for the first time in their lifes with that "dangerous armed guy". Going to shooting range is becoming very popular and it seems to be good bussiness for shooting range owners.

$250 for an AK variant is very good. They have gone up significantly in price. Maybe $600 and up, a Bulgarian Arsenal Kvar is in the thousand plus range.

M4/ar15 variants have come down to the $500-600 range for entry level guns.

Any cool old guns you can buy, a Maxim gun would be awesome (but I'm guessing not realistic, also the pallets of ammo you need to feed it....)

I read somewhere that actual price of AK47, meaning how much it costs for a factory to produce it is somewhere around 10$. I don't know if that's true for a factory, but I know that in some parts of the world you can get it for that price. But of course these are black markets of Afghanistan and such.

Can anyone recommend a good gun cleaning kit? I ran a Google search against the forum and didn't find anything.

9 mm M&P Shield if it matters.

The kit doesn't matter too much just make sure not to get a cheap junk one. The cleaning solution and oil for your gun and barrel are more important. I like Hoppes.
