Real AK-47s are capable of full auto. No real AK-47 made after 1986
could be imported into the US for resale to the civilain market. A real
AK-47 imported into this country for resale into the civilian market if
it was in the registry would be worth quite a bit of money possibly as
much as $10,000 to $20,000. AK-47 lookalikes, the semi auto versions,
are normally refered to by those who actually know what they are
talking about as AKS. These retail for considerably less, probably say
$500 to $950 depending on where it was made.

What are you talking about? An AKS is an AK-47 with a folding stock.

Well blow me down. Back during the 90s I had read that the AKS
designation was for the semiautomatic version. We were trying to clarify
the difference between the full auto and the semi auto whilst politicing
and lobbying and that was how we clarified the deceptions of the Brady's.
No one ever complained before.

Ahh, the old; And just when you thought you know what ya know. :)

No issues here. It is a mistake I've seen other people make before.

BTW -- here is a transferable full auto AKS for sale. Have a spare
$14,995.00 laying about? Tell Ruben I sent ya, you might get a
discount, NOT!

A full atuo AK is way down the list for me after a BAR, a Thompson, etc.
