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.
