I would like some input, please.

[JohnTRourke]

me too, given those parameters, I'd vote AK
I warn you though, I tried the folding stock AK and it SUCKED. Maybe i'm a big wuss, but it was terrible. Looks cooler, hell to shoot though. YOu might think about a regular wood stock.

I also really can't believe $565 for an AK.
eeehhhh
Something wrong with that. :roll:

I'm gonna side with the AK crowd too. Especially because you don't have a evil assault rifle yet and it's always fun! They're super easy and cheap to modify even a little at a time. I've got about $500 into mine right now and I got the gun itself for about $250 or so.. I'm only adding about another $75 to it and calling it done. You'll be amazed at the amount of "upgrades and add-ons" you can get for them!

It sounds like that shop you're going to is a little overpriced. Do yourself a favor and do some research on AKs before you go blowing $500 on an overpriced low quality one. There's a differance between a $300 WASR-10 and a $600 Arsenal with a milled receiver. Also, make sure you know what kind of ammo it shoots. I've seen a lot of people with AK-74 clones in stock. They look the same as a regular AK but they shoot 5.45x39 which is a LOT more rare and expensive than 7.62x39.

5280 Armory has pretty good prices on their AKs right now. I think their underfolders are $520. They also have WASR-10 side folders for a little over $400 and WASR-10s with fixed stocks for around $400. If you don't mind doing an FFL dealer transfer you can pick them up cheaper on line. It's a pain in the butt, though, and you usually don't end up saving enough to make it worth the hassle.

Ummmm, UZI. :twisted: :P :twisted:

Oh, and there's no $200.00 tax on a semi anything unless you are talking about one of those SBR thingies. :twisted: Karl theunbiasedone Mann.

[The1andOnlyKC]

Well I would get the AK.


But damn $500 I should have stocked up when you could get them 200. I mean really it is only an AK....

[robsterclaw]

See I thought 565 was a good price for the AK. That's the very cool thging about this board. People know stuff and teach it. I did look online at gunbroker and saw different types of AK's, most right around 550. I'll look into quality of them too.

Karl, the one I liked on Vector's website was an SBR. It has a folding stock. I guess that's why that one needs the tax stamp. It sure is nice.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Or you could come to one on the build parties build three stock AKs and have $120 left over for mags and ammo...just a thought [postal] .

My kit just got here last Monday. It was $180 shipped to my door with more US parts than necessary and no FFL or paperwork to deal with. I can't wait for the build party :cool: .

Here are a few places to check out for cheap AKs.

This place has Yugo underfolders (I'm sure it's the same one you were looking at for $565) for $440. They also have WASR-2 rifles (shoots 5.45x39) for $299.95. If you want to get in on a build party they have Romanian kits with US trigger sets that range from $100 to $130. Just get a receiver flat and a US pistol grip or a US muzzle break and you'll be 922r compliant. It's one big webpage but they have a LOT of deals. It's definately worth it to scroll down and check out everything. I've never dealt with them personally but other people have recommended them to me.

www.aimsurplus.com also has some cheap AKs.

If you want something that's higher quality go look at www.atlanticfirearms.com. They've got a lot of Vectors, Armory USAs and Arsenals (some of the best names in the AK business) for reasonable prices.

If you don't want to deal with an FFL transfer (which you'll have to do to get a firearm through the mail) you can also check out 5280 Armory in Arvada or Jensen's Firearms in Loveland. They're both great shops with good prices on their AKs.
