I've recently sold my custom built AR, now I have a little bit of spending money for a ak. I've always wanted a ak74 and I need advice.
I found this and I'm having a hard time finding reviews but from what I've seen, it sounds pretty solid. Do any of you have any experience with this particular rifle? I think it's a CAI built from Bulgarian parts

What is your budget?

My recommendation would be Arsenal SLR-105's or SLR-104's.

Yeah I've looked into the arsenals. My wife would absolutely murder me if I spent another grand on a firearm. I'm looking for something to just be a fun range gun, doesn't have to be competition worthy. But I also want the 5.45x39 cartridge.

I have a high budget, but its what i'm willing to spend for ak74, and I'm defnitley trying to keep it below 600 dollars if possible.

Good luck. Nothing really great in that price range.

Spend the money and get a SGL31 or SLR104.  If not an Arsenal - look for Interams Polish Tantal with original barrel or an older Romanian 5.45 AK74.  Rebuilt Bulgarian rifles with American barrels can have issues with head spacing or stuck cartridges.
