Well there are differences in expense between the construction of a milled receiver AK and a stamped receiver AK. Trust me, highway robbers have much higher margins than we do.

Most rifles work that way these days. in terms of reliability too But not in terms of out of the box quality, fit and appearance, coating or source of manufacture. Is a Mil-Spec 1911 (~$550) and a Kimber Tactical Pro II is $1,250; do you criticizes that? They are both 1911s and "function the same". At the end of the day, if you want a Milled-Receiver Yugo, good luck finding it for less. If you want to convert a factory new Russian Saiga into a Mil-Spec looking rifle, its going to cost you the $650-800 that an Arsenal would. |

My Gold combat stopped working between 11 and 12 K rounds, the hammer sear and disconnecter began to round off and the grip safety stopped doing it's job. They would not fix it because a $1600 pistol only comes with a 1year warante. Some people may think they walk on water but as far as I'm concerned they can keep their MIM junk. YMMV As for a milled AK machine time isn't cheap, I would rather have a stamped rifle because of weight and economy but the milled guns are more expensive to produce for sure. This is why the Soviets went to the stamped AKM in the first place. |

I think it should also have a front sight gas block also. I've always wanted a sbr underfolder krink/draco in 5.45 but i'm fairly cheap too.

Nice looking milled AK, but too pricey. One of the main advantages of AK type rifles is that they are affordable. If they are $1200, you might as well get an upper echalon AR. On the other hand, an AK 5.45 underfolder would be great if not overpriced. Triangle stock is better no doubt, but they are also much more expensive. Used underfolder in war, and it held up pretty good....The only thing that ruins the underfolder is when you shoot mines out of it.

The small group of guys who just want a comfortable rifle to shoot probably wont touch them because underfolders arent exactly the lazy boy of gun stocks. There will be a small market of people who will buy them because they are different, but i would count on the market being small. This is the funniest and best description I have ever read. Thanks for the good laugh!! |

I'm just glad this product intro isn't about a 5.45 triangular side-folder- I'm having a tough enough time saving money for food- ; )

Don't care for underfolders, triangle or 100 would be great though!
