Kalashnikov said that the parts in the AK 47 "float" inside the receiver. On the other hand you will never find a Match rifle based on an AK47 as you will on an AR15 (M16). The AR can be made to shoot 1" at 100 yards. I saw a TV program that showed Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner (designer of the M16) sitting down at a picnic table to talk about guns. The world has changed! It is not uncommon in some parts of the world for boys to be named Kalash! I have never shot an AK47, but I do have a match grade AR15. I am always impressed with the simplicity and genius of Stoner's design. Sorry about the gun talk, but it is my other collection. I wish I had the guts to tear into one of my Nikon F's I would just like to have a good working knowledge of it's innards.

Reiska,
Congratulations on picking up that Leica.
It's a fine camera and a first cousin to my beloved Minolta XD and XD-11.
Hope you find some lenses.
