Or maybe more importantly, which ones should I avoid?

Looking for my first AK. I want the classic full wood furniture. Honestly, I just want one because I think they're pretty cool, but also want the reliability.

Any tips will be appreciated.

Heed this advice wisely!  Honestly a WASR will fulfill your needs just fine.....by all means I would not look at IO as 'Bay said.

WASR if you want an inexpensive ak



arsenal slr variant if you want an extremely high quality ak

WASR if you want to modify/accessorize. NPAP if you want to leave it stock.

The N-pap is a high quality AK made by Zastava in Serbia.  It is difficult to beat the combination of quality and price.  The Wasr is a great rifle too.  The Zastava rifle has a blued metal finish with a very nice wood stock set.  They are very well made.

One of my local shops has some Century Arms N-Paps.

Sgl21 is a great rifle!  Also I agree with wasr being a nice entry level ak. Also a sar-1 or a mak-90.
I just bought another sgl21 here.  Been waiting a week for it to be shipped out.  Got it right before the panic.

new wasrs or npaps are both likely to run without any problems and are made in military factors with commie barrels and receivers.  They are simple, crude, and ugly, yet somehow quite elegant.

This.  A WASR will treat you right.  Sometimes they don't come with all the extras: cleaning rod, cleaning kit, bayonet, or  a sling, but those can all be picked up on the cheap.

There's nothing crude or ugly about NPAPs - they're very nicely made.
