Hi~ Ive been at the Ar-15 section of the site for a while now but am new to the AK section. Id like to buy a decent AK. If someone could point me in the right direction- tell me what to stay away from(hesse, etc) and wheres a good place to buy. Thanks. |

As many on this board will tell you - if you want more bang for your buck, get a SAR 1. I just got one from AIM Surplus for $309. You can spend more and get a better finished weapon if you choose, but for the money, the SAR series kicks ass and will function as well as any AK variant. Good luck and have fun! |

Get either a SAR-1 or SAR-2 like everyone else says. Definately the most bang for your buck. The only difference between the two is caliber(7.62 and 5.45). Each caliber has it's advanteges and dis-advantages, though I'm partial to the 7.62, since I only have an SAR-1. 7.62 -Slightly cheaper ammo (about $20 less per 1k) -Cheaper and more plentiful mags -Drums -More recoil (can be good or bad depending on preference) -Drums  5.45 -Flatter shooting and slightly more accurate -Less recoil (I hear it's easier to bump) -It's what the Russians upgraded to Of course, AIM is always a good place to get one. That's the best price you will get for an SAR-1 or 2, and the SAR-2's are cheap now there. IMHO, you can't go wrong with either caliber, which leaves you with one solution: buy both! |

Just ask them...it cost $10 more. Most people will tell you that you're just wasting your money b/c all it means is that they use a "hand" to "pick" one off the shelf. Personally I think of it as cheap insurance. If they don't actually look it over, it's only $10. If they do, then it's money well spent. Nismofun |
"just ask them" do you mean call them? or email them? or... |
