Had either the D or M model in the late 90s. Whichever one uses AK mags but without the hideous thumb hole stock. It was a damn good carbine as long as you used 20 round tanker style mags. They locked in better than anything else. But I sold it WAY too cheap for $350.00 Back in 07.I've had a few over the years. Kind of like the Highpoint of the rifle world for me. Shot every time I pulled the gritty, clunky old trigger but just wasn't my thing.
It's kinda like why can't Ruger make a Mini 30 that uses AK mags? That would be great but probably too expensive.
