"A man who procrastinates in his choosing will inevitably have his choice made for him by circumstance" -Hunter S. Thompson
Any modern and reliable rifle manufacturer that puts out a semi auto 7.62x39 that takes AK mags and is NR in canada will do very well in sales
If it's either loud, obnoxious, fast, hated by the general population or any combination of these, I OWN IT!!
Remember the Blaze 47? .22 rifle with plastic AK furniture that landed prohib status while it mechanically identical wood stocked brother landed NR. I doubt it but I'll hope it makes it.
