I had a KV-13. Couldn't believe it but it was picky with ammo. Ran perfectly with golden tiger but sucked horribly (like every other fucking round would malfunction) with Red Army Standard ammo.
That was the straw that broke the camels back and I finally said Fuck it and started selling off most of my AKs. Have a few left that I cant sell in CA but will be selling as soon as I become a resident of Utah (the last of my 7.62's since I hate the caliber), and a Saiga 5.45 that I plan to keep. Id like to get the Saiga a brother, either the new VEPRs in 5.45 or the new cheap Arsenal. Im not a purist so I dont care that the VEPR doesn't have the cleaning rod and is just a little too thick for standard furniture so ultimately itll come down to price for me. If the Arsenal drives down the price of the VEPR at least $50, Ill go that way. If it doesn't then Ill get the new Arsenal.
