Seeing as though I live in shitty Connecticut, I can only have non 7.62mm AKs.  Once the ban expires will there be more manufacturers producing these, so that they'll be somewhat cheaper?  I can't see spending over $500 on an arsenal when most other AK variants seem to be in the $300 range.  I'm totally new to the AK thing, as until a few months ago I didn't know that these were legal in CT at all.  Thanks for the info.
