"What's the best Neo-AK available to the USA?

Yea, I agree. And with that being said, I vote Krebs KTR-03S.

Yeah I guess throwing the Chinese Type 56 and QBZ-95 in would start to make it too academic, huh?
The SIG 550 and Daewoo are sort of available in the US....
You know what? This whole topic is named wrong, because NONE of the guns I cited are "AKs". At a stretch, they're Kalashnikovs, or AK variants, or Kalashnikov variants. Not even all Kalashnikovs are AKs, right? There's RPKs, FPK/PSLs, PKMs....
If all "Kalashnikov" variants are called such because of their operating system, designed originally by Mikhail, then which PART of the total rifle system do we consider definitive? For me, its the bolt lockup and gas system. But, if you start to throw the fire control system in there, you start to get lost. I don't think FCG counts simply because its so easy to alter. The Daewoo has an AR-15 style bolt and lockup, though, right? I think the SIG and AR-70 bolt is more of the 2-lug fixed ejector system.
I really think the XCR has merit, BTW.
