 Yea, I think Forrestsmusic.com sells a Loree AK mandrel for $90.  Ridiculous price.  Funny enough, I own the MCW mandrel, but it doesn't fit the AK staples, and fits his Staples just right.  The AK bore is different, I think it's thinner at the top, and flares more at the bottom (but it's been a long time since I put the reeds on the AK staples to remember).  I'm going to keep looking for a cheaper alternative.
 
 A side note, I spent 4 weeks camping outside of Utrecht last year, and traveling around Holland and Belgium (Maybe Ginkeldun was the place).  You have a beautiful country.  Granted I haven't been there in winter to know it then, but in the summer it's phenomenal.
