I've got an older Arsenal, back when the receivers were from Russia and love it. While it was a little more pricey than many others, the quality is there big time. It only has a few thousand rounds through it but It maintains around 2 MOA if not slightly better. However, Arsenal has gone through many problems and are now all made in Bulgaria; with their finish being one of the bigger downfalls. After seeing some of the DDI's and reading reviews they seem like the best bet for an AK around $800 and made in the USA; one that works from the USA. That's what I'd go with.

I sent off two all-Polish underfolder kits (sourced from Arms of America and WhataCountry) to Two Rivers Arms to be built. I'm stoked to get them back.
Honestly with the impending release of the $800 Arsenal SGLs, I'd go with those if you just want a bone-stock AKM or wait for Palmetto State Armory to release their "build" kits.

Talking to the reps of Arsenal last year at Shot Show they were saying the last of their inventory was at current dealers and they were going to be back ordered for a few years pending a few contracts they had to fill. I haven't stayed up on them for a while but what changed?
