I like mine alot. It's surprisngly accurate with the standard iron sights, especially with WW Powerpoint, R-P SP, and S&B steel cased FMJ. With Wolf and Chinese it's adequate, but not great. It will keep 10 shots of Wolf steel case inside the head of an IDPA target at 100 yds from sitting or kneeling with no sling. It has not failed to function with any of the ammo that I have fed it. It did have a canted front sight base, but drifting the front sight over a little centered everything up nicely. Finish was very nice, especially when compared to some of the other AK's at which I have looked. I did pay a premium price for it, $580 out the door from a local dealer, but it was/is worth it, and I doubt that I'll lose money on it should I decide to sell it. As a matter of fact, if things go poorly for gunowners next week, it may go up in value overnight. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one, and recommend that you do so very soon, if you want one at all. Even if the political situation doesn't change, from what I understand importation of kits is restricted, and some types are going to be in short supply regardless.
