Why did you buy an AK-74 instead of an SKS or any other AK-47 variant?

Was it because of the Brady Bill or...?

My father has one heavily modified AKM. Yes, he has the right to own it, because the Brady Bill does not ban AK variants that you bought before the bill was passed. He machined all of the internals, and pretty such fires so damn smoothly.

Great thing about it is that he hardly cleans it. I would say he cleans it once every six months and even then, it fires well.
