Hello All,
I am thinking about getting a SA
AK-47. Mainly to learn how to break it down and see how it works etc with some shooting thrown in.

I never bought anything like it before and am wondering what to look for to tell a good one from a bad etc. How important is the country of manufacture? What can I buy to transport it without alarming people where I live? A big suitcase?

All advice is greatly appreciated, Bam Bam.
