Hey I am going to the birch run gun show for the first time on the 8th and was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of the AK selection there. I am looking to get my first Ak and I was curious if their is a pretty decent amount of AK's there for sale. I don't want a wasr but any decent AK for around 400-500 bucks, preferably synthetic stock.

Mostly Rom's - and DON'T buy a folder there.  The dealers are MAJORLY ignorant of the MI folder OAL "Ag Opinion".

You can't own a rifle in Michigan that is under 26" when the stock is folded: most AK underfolders are about 25 3/4" when folded, so no dice for us. It's one of the stupidest laws ever. Also, rifles that are between 26"-30" must be registered as pistols So dumb.

All the local fun shops in my area have sold hundreds of underfolders since the end of the ban...and im sure there have been thousands of them sold all over the state(not condoning it). I have personally never heard of anyone getting in trouble for owning one. If anyone should ever get into hot water it should be all the gun shops who sell them as legal to own...Anyway its a retarded "opinion" by the AG..a republican Maybe all us Michigan guys need to give his office a call to let him know how retarded it is!

They measure from the tip of slant brake to the farthermost part of the rifle, which is back of pistol grip, and that makes 26".
That is the total length of rifle with stock folded.
Slant brake does not have to be welded.

AG who wrote this opinion did not mention how to measure and does not hold office anymore. Good riddance.

Of course. If these were not legal, dealers would not sell them and authorities would not register them.

This "opinion" came to us courtesy of former MI. AG Frank Kelley, who apparently was very anti-gun.  Our present AG, Mike Cox, is VERY VERY VERY pro-gun, as witnessed by his own "opinion" regarding machinegun ownership in MI., circa December 2005.
