hexxe = bad to: hey...this one works!

global trades/arsenal usa = mostly good stuff, but i would be cautious of the ssr56.

romanian = rough finish, usually as good as any other ak, functionally speaking.

arsenal inc. = great stuff. nice finish, good customer service.

hungarian = great stuff, good attention to detail. built with pride.

yugoslavian = heavenly stuff. nicely detailed, well made parts.

egyptian = crude finish but good stuff. authentic russian style akm's with crude parts.

chinese = odd, but, good stuff. finish varies, as do the many models available.

robarms russian molot = funky, but good stuff. nicely made and finished.

eaa russian saiga izmash = nuetered, but good stuff. well made parts.

bulgarian = heavy, but good stuff. well made parts

polish = finely made parts on usa receiver, good stuff.

ohio rapid fire = well made parts sets on oow receivers or their own custom receiver. tons of models.

inrange = custom builds on your parts. good quality from a good guy.

vector = nicely finished with pride in construction. a relative newcomer to ak's, longtime builder.

ak103 = florida's big boy. nice work. innovative model range. friendly folks.

marc krebs = high end custom work. another innovator.

investment grade firearms = another fine custom builder.

israel = galils r us. high zoot and refinement in smart looking package.

finland = the awesome valmet. first on the american scene and still a sought after prize.

ok...next! that cooked both of my brain cells and i know i forgot several!
