Question Ever see these before?

FULL-SIZE AND WEIGHT AK-47 used by United States forces in 1970 to train RVN (Republic of Vietnam) troops in the usage of the AK-47 rifle. This NON-FIRING TRAINER is an exact duplicate of the Kalashnikov AK-47 supplied by the Soviet Union to the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong guerillas. The U.S. provided extensive training to the South Vietnamese until our final withdrawal via the Saigon Airlift in 1975.

This incredible and VERY RARE specimen is STAMPED AND DATED VIET-NAM 1970 and is embossed the the VIETNAM STAR. Even rarer is the ORIGINAL BI-POD & RETAINING CLIP! These are usually long gone if you can even find an original training rifle. Nearly impossible to tell from the real thing! This is an incredible find and the ultimate collectible for a 'Nam vet or militaria collector. Perfect for re-enactments or would look fantastic in your bar, gun room or den!







This for real?
They want $249 for it.

Looks more like an RPK machine gun. Looks pretty collectible.
