Okay guys, I'm wanting to pick up my first AK and I've got it down to 3. I want to see what ya'll, the experts, think.
First, I want something under $600, I'm on a tight budget, so no high end AKs for me. But I do want something that works and is easy to get replacement and/or aftermarket parts for. And I'm simply using it for defense, nothing fancy.
1.
Saiga 7.62 (converted) $520 from another website with collapsable stock and regular stock, two mags, sling, cleaning kit .
2.
Yugo M70 with folding stock $499. I'm a little concerned on this one, since they're not made anymore, don't know how long spare parts are going to hold out.
3.
Bulgarian SSR-85 $550. Haven't really been able to find out much about it.
So any suggestions guys? Or maybe something else in the same price range...though I'd like to avoid have more decisions, rather than less, to make. Thanks guys.
And, in all honesty, is there really a "bad" choice here? Or are they all at least good picks?
