What advice should be given to a young widow who has a AK-47, left to her
by a husband who passed away from a sudden heart attack? He received it
from his father who was a Vietnam era Marine.
The weapon has a triangle marking with a 66 in it. I believe it to be full auto after checking some website descriptions of the trigger assembly.
The breech has a spot weld that blocks a round from being loaded. Should it be hack sawed and buried? Does it have value and can she do something useful with it?
