I have the SAR2, love it. Great round, I'd get it over that SAR1. I think they're cheaper and a little more scarce than the SAR1's.

The only problem with the SAR 2 is ammo availability. All producers are ex-east block countries, however that fact isn't the problem. All the US Government has to do is stop ammo imports, and you are totally out of luck. Unkile 2 years ago, there may be enough guns for a domestic producer to start production, but the cost will be high.
7.62*39 will still be cheap (Though not wolf cheap), and is now a permenant addition to gun store racks. |

Thought I read somewhere recently that someone in the USA was gearing up for production of 5.45x39 ammo.

No question about it , Go with the SAR-2.
Recoil is almost like a 22mag and bakelite mags are cheap $5.00 used. |

How about a SAR3? Ammo availability would be no problem.

Sar-3s don't have a good reputation for mechanical geometry. Also, the magazines are suspect.
Want an AK? Get an battle-tested AK caliber. |

You'd better get on the stick- a guy posted that AIM surplus is out of SAR 1's, and went from having 400 SAR 2's to only having 50 in about a day!

Grizzly,
Buy both. Go here for your ammo: [url]www.aimsurplus.com[/url] Go here for your mags: [url]http://ak-47.gunsnet.net/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14617[/url] |

Grizzly, you might want to consider one of the .223 guns from Arsenal USA. They cost a bit more, but more then worth it, in my opinion. If you are used to an AR type fit and finish, you'll be disappointed with an SAR 1 or 2. The Arsenal guns have really nice wood and a nice even parkerizing. There would also be no need to worry about ammo, as it would shoot the same thing as your AR.

I really like my SAR 1, ran a half a case through it at a blasting session ( first chance in about 6 years, shoot too much HPower and bullseye ! ) no malfuctions, though very sore trigger finger ! Since 5.45 ammo is now cheap, I ordered a SAR-2. The nice thing about them is there cheap and they work, the bad is the quality of fit and finish,crooked sites ec.

Did you know that Mikhail Kalishnikov (spelling?), actually was against a smaller round, he wanted to improve upon the 7.62X39 round. I personally like the 5.45X39 round because it is light and produces a hydraulic type wound like the 5.56 NATO
