First AK, which do you choose?

[spider]

Can we get some pics of the SAR-1, one of only a few true AKM's imported

@Velzey has the SAR-1 currently, he is threading the barrel and adding a muzzle device pin. I never shot it cause it was too nice but after these mods, its going to be well-loved.
I'll post photos when I get it back.

I've been thinking of bring him my SAR-1 for the same treatment.

Looking to add an AK to the collection, which would you choose in today's market and why?

So after thoroughly reviewing all of these responses, your choice should be crystal clear by now.

Milled or stampted? Does it have the lug and drilled front sight for muzzle device?

Get wasr and lots of ammo.

If you just want one to beat around, you can get by with most (stay away from the CAA imports, though. Unless you like magwells widened with dremels...). You can get a nice Cho-build locally for under 2K. Billy used to work with Jim Fuller, and their AKM builds are top notch.

That or get a RD build. You can find them under 2K.

Outdated info. Wasrs don't need dremel anymore. Only the early 10/63s.

Why spend 2k on an AK, unless you're into Classic Arms..which you might be. They'rere work horses. It's the only gun that I own that I'm not worried about cleaning when I get home from the desert. You could piss on it, run it over, bury it in the sand, dig it up 5 years later and run 500rnds through it dry...it would still go "boom" every time you pulled the trigger. I vote AMD 63/65. Truck, brush, home defense gun, good for 3" groups at 100yrds after a couple beers. I have a couple AKs. This one(AMD-65) ran me about $600 after the fancy furniture.

1. Wasr-10
2. Arsenal (price puts it in 2nd)
3. Century VSKA. Laugh if you want. I'm about 3k rounds into mine and I really like it. Built like a tank.

I bought a WASR, some better replacement wood (Century puts cheap quality wood on there when they import them), some magazines and a crapload of 7.62. I've been shooting the hell of this thing and love it! This weekend is the AKFiles PNW meet so I'm looking forward to that and shooting with other AK guys.

On the news they said the world was sold out of AK's! I guess something must be up?
