The quality varied enormously.....much of it was poor, but hey, it went bang and the bullet went more or less where intended, so the locals were happy.
Some of the AK's were very good.

As for an adventure, I had the wrong visa... when I tried to leave via Torkham, they took my passport, so my stay was extended somewhat.

One of the guys I work with is a Pashtun, he would go back to Afghanistan to see his family every December for about 4 weeks (don't know if he'll go this year!) and on one trip over there he brought me back a 1986-dated Soviet Border Guard winter Afghanka jacket that one of his relatives had tucked away for years, it has a definite "been there, done that" look to it!.
