Hi, I would like to travel to Belgium to see the museum.  Can you give me more detail location of the museum?

Thank you,

Henri

Its the main military museum in Brussels.

BUT, they dont have any AKs on display. These guns are all kept in their basement vault. I am collecting images for a book (sort of an AK picture book) and these are my left over pics.

Is this the place?

Does the the Holland museum you went to have AKs in display?  The reason I'm asking is because I will be getting a good deal on a round trip ticket to Europe and want to go check out some cool weapons museum.

P.S.
Thanks for the quick reply!!

Thats it.

The museum in Holland had a special exhibit on the AK. Only reason I went. It was a pretty cool little museum, but to be honest would not be worth a international trip.

To be honest, I dont think any museum I have been to would be worth an international trip. Maybe as a side trip if you are already here, but thats about it.

Im curious, do think  they plug the barrels or make them into "dewats"? or are all of them still fully functional?

All the weapons from the museum were full fuctional. Very few museums do anything to weapons. At most, they might remove some part if it is on display.

Amazing pictures.  I especially liked the milled type III guns...absolutely beautiful.  After seeing this I'm still convinced that milled receiver AKs are the best looking AKs.

What is the lever on the driver side of the rifles that sits right behind the lower handguard, below the SN and manufactured date?

So if I get a sidefolder kit I should buy that also, where do I get it?

Depending on what kit you get or where you buy your stock it should come with it.  Before you purchase your folding stock make sure to ask if it doesn't say hardware and trunnion included.  Now the hardware by itself seems to be a little harder to get a hold of seperately that's why kits are just a better idea to purchase than just the stock if you were going to upgrade because you could juts build a new gun entirely.

Great collection of images and a great reference!

Thanks!

I am about to buy a Chinese Norinco.  I am told it is a "Side-Fold" M90.  (AK-47 7.62xX39)

Have you ever heard of it?

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,

Chuck Manetta
