1. I have read and accept the classified system rules and terms of service.

Hey all, I'm still relatively new to Oregon, and brand new to the world of firearms. Now that I'm in a state with pretty relaxed legislation, I'd love to get my hands on an AK. I've been looking at getting an Arsenal sam7r61 (if they ever restock), unless I can find a local deal. Besides the general lack of availability, I'm going to have to wait a month to get my state ID in order to make any purchase less of a headache. Any leads would be greatly appreciated, or just any advice of any kind. I've also been looking at romy g kits (I would need someone to build it), zastavas, wasrs, etc. I'm also interested in Makarov pistols, just a little side note. Thanks y'all!

If you have the funds consider a pre-86 full auto AK. Read up on the NFA.

I wish, maybe one day.

Good luck on your arsenal quest.

And I suggest buying 2 or 3 of any level, price, quality.
And as many mags as you can lay hands on.
And my deepest condolences on having to buy ammo for twice the price it was 8 months ago.

Thanks for the tips, I've already bought several mags, saw 'em for cheap and figured I'll need a bunch. Hopefully ammo dips back down to pre-pandemic prices asap. Cheers

Arsenal will hurt your wallet right now regardless of the model. Having a kit built can also be expensive in the end. Wasr or even a sar1 are good rifles for the money. If you can find a mak90 they are great rifles and can be had for under 1200. Ac unity makes an inexpensive mag if you want to buy in bulk. I believe rtg gun parts has them in stock. Metal surplus are the best option but will be double the price or more of the ac unity mags

That's a gun nut move! Love it.
I've bought mags ,ammo and even aftermarket stocks for guns I didn't own yet.

Welcome to OR, and the AK world! Not the best time to join, but imports are still rolling in with new models as we speak.

For your first AK, you can't go wrong with:

• WASR (don't get confused with the Century import marks. This isn't a subpar Century gun - they just import them from Romania)
• ZPAP M70 - The new ones with the bulged trunnion and chrome line barrels are a good value
• WBP Fox (Excellent quality Polish imports)

If you want an Arsenal and can put forth some more money, Absolutely go for a SAM7-SF. I own a ton of AKs, and it's one of my favorites.
