I am looking at getting my first AK.  It will need to be one of the cheaper ones.  So I guess that brings it down to Century vs. IO.  Which is better and why?  And if you have any other suggestions let me know...

Try to find a MAK 90. They have been showing up at pawn shops, & on the for sale threads. Some can be had for $400, & some  even come with pistol grips already. The quality on these guns are better then the above mentioned guns. They come with a thicker receiver, heavy AK 47 barrel, great double hook trigger, & a nice blued finish. Try to find one with a square back receiver, vs a slant receiver. Good luck.  GARY  N4KVE

For a good cheap AK type rifle the SAR1 or  WASR 10 is just fine. I'll bet mine will run & eat anything those 1000 & up AK's do.

Just pick one that doesnt look too banged up.
Check the gas block and sights make sure they are straight. this applies to any model you look at.
Do you want a side scope rail? There are other options but nice to have.
