I have a strict rule to only purchase firearms manufactured in Israel, Austria, Switzerland or Germany. (May add an exception for the Cz Bren 2 if the non restricted ever comes out)
This rule has saved me from a lot of stress and headaches. I don’t care if it’s a real AK47 from Russia, I will never buy from the 3rd world who build these guns with zero QC, zero regulations and a ton of corruption to go along with it.
