Phnom Penh Police Checkpoint Arrests Man with AK47

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

I have a Chinese AK back in the US.
The article states it is an old Russian with the new plastic parts...The barrel sight is of Russian style if you look ...Chinese have a complete circular sight and Russian have the semi circular sight. So, that statement is correct.
Yes, the plastic shit looks like junk...But, if it is as old as stated the new parts make sense. It certainly has a new bluing as well...it is far too clean to be that old.
Obviously, it would only take a few seconds to break it down and discover what it is exactly.
I modified my old Winchester Defender to a tactical style grip and stock..but kept the original wooden pump grip..my mod is black and is quite a nice conversion.
The police roadblocks are going to discover a lot of interesting things. Not a good idea to be a courier these days..

I couldn't fault the stock. ??? but the grip and the hand guard are dodgy.
Why do you say that?
Ever shot a real AK? Full auto?
I meant i looked closely at the add-on parts and the stock looked exactly like a Magpul original. As far as you could tell from that one photo.
The grip and the hand guard did not seem to be the same as Magpul parts.

No Wild, letting off a full auto blast of an AK47 has never been one of my aspirations.
Like the Afghanis, my favourite riffle and my style of shooting suits the Lee Enfield .303. The only military rifle i have fired. (schoolboy champ for two years, 400 yards, i still love them))

If you haven't, you're not doing Cambodia correctly. :hattip:

Never quite got the "i am a whitey in Cambodia, 'can't wait to let loose with the ordinance" thing.
Actually, exactly the opposite - more than anywhere else on the planet i don't want to do that here.

I wouldn't shoot a machine gun or ak here. Cheaper and safer in the USA.

Personally I use trigger control to shoot bursts on all full autos. Although I have been known to mad minute on occasion usually only on belt feds which can handle extended fire better.
My go to truck gun for many years was a jungle carbine,. Shot a bear with it too.
