Probably better to get it from your dealer than going direct to Hannams. Hannams will sell retail but their prices are high to allow for their wholesale customers to have a margin so as not to be in competition with them.

Need something to feed mind you. I'm sure straight pull AK's used to be fairly cheap, or when I was looking a couple of years ago, Now they seem to be harder to come by, and not cheap!
Spam cans....
7.62x39 = 700 rounds
7.62x54r = 440 rounds
5.45x39 = 1080 rounds
Can dimensions are the same for all, only the amount varies so one sized can/crate fits all.
The Romanian AKs as sold buy Oleg are as close as you can get to a Soviet-era AKM as they are manufactured at the RomArm/Cugir Arsenal in Romania on ex-Soviet Russian machines.Slap on some Arctic Birch laminate, an akm slant brake and a Bakelite mag and you've cracked it

Ah, that clears it up thanks. So either way i'm out of luck since I also have 7.62x54r but again 400rnd limit.
And I have been lusting after those Ak's so make no apology for quoting the image again.
