Hey guys I'm usually over in the AR forum but I have been interested in purchasing an AK for awhile.  Is the AK supply in high demand like the AR's?  There are so many different manufacturers I can't determine which ones are decent and which are junk.  Providing I can still find one, what are some of the better manufacturers.  I want a traditional AK with wood stock/forearm.  thanks guys

If u want an "out of the box" go-to AK, buy an Arsenal,  
or a Krebs Custom.

Your first AK should be 7.62x39 IMHO

Scottsdale Gun Club is expecting a new shippment of Arsenal's soon.


Arsenal Inc


Krebs Custom


Wood can be purchased through Ironwood Designs

Kit building is another option, there are many AK builders
out there, here are a few with excellent reputations:

AK-USA


Arizona Response Systems


Happy hunting, and enjoy the new addiction!
