I have had 3 AKs and know a little about them. One I built from a Romy parts kit, like new for $100.00 at Aim Surplus. I had an Elk River Rec. Installed on my de milled kit. Then I put in the barrel, and all of the 922r parts. It was a lot of fun, but alas I sold it. The other was a Century built AK 74. I sold it during the great panic when O got elected. The only thing I had to do to it was put a Tapco G2 trigger in it. I shot it some 300-500 rounds, never failed. It got sold. What I have now is an FEG SA 85M that came with the nice blond thumb hole stock. I threaded the barrel, put in all required 922r parts, along with a USA made K-Var Plum stock set, a G2 trigger assy. & a Made in USA made AK 74 type flash hider. I have been looking at milled receiver rifles, from Century up to Arsenal. My question is, is the SA85m a better gun? ( Never misfired), and I kept all of the old parts. Opinions please.
Thanks, Mark |

There are some companies making/building really nice rifles that you mentioned, but I don't see any superiority over the SA-85, some features maybe that some guys find desirable (bayo lug, sidemount etc.) but overall they are easily the equal of anything produced today. |

Thanks to all who answered. I am just going to keep my SA85, and not worry about a milled one. I don't need a bayonet on it. Thank You Mark If I were you, I would get the correct gas block and FSB as well. This way if you ever want to de-ban it you have the parts. Now is the time to get correct Hungarian parts. |
