well stealing would be the cheapest route to getting a 5.56 AK...
but out of the options you listed, id say get a WASR-3, or SAR-3......or if you dont mind, get a Saiga in .223 and convert it to use high cap mags.... |

What's the going price on a SAR-3 these days? I have a WASR-10, and I'm completely happy with it, I'm just envious of dimples.

$380-440 for a stock/standard SAR-3
they are on the EE once in a while, but go FAST...they are hot items lately in the past they couldnt give them away, because the issue of mags (now we have Weigers), plus people poo-poo'd the .223 AK |

We have ALWAYS had the Weiger mags for the SAR-3. interordnance sells them really cheap to this day. They were actually designed and produced in Germany for the SAR-3 IIRC.

Wrong. The SAR-3 is a Romanian rifle. The mags were produced for an East German rifle (Stg940/Weiger ?) but East Germany no longer exists. Sold as surplus and work in the Romanian SAR-3 rifle. |

Just wait a couple of months for a Sig 556. AK design and AR mags. Supposedly under a grand and got the Sig warranty backing it up instead of relying on CAI's QC. wganz ¶ |

Is it worth it for all the hassles with mags and stuff?

SAR3s are worth it...I love mine. I paid like $370 or so for the rifle by itself, $420 or so for the rifle, sling, kvar furn set, and 4 NIW weigers.. I wish we had kits of that EG rifle the weiger mags were made for..thatd be sweet. |

I wish a couple of months...I think you'll be lucky to get one before fall.
Under a grand?? No way. Demand will keep the retail prices up on these for quite a while. Make it while you can. They will never be as pleantyful as a AR-15 type. I figure about $1200 for a standard model shoule be the Good deal on them. KyARGuy |

I went 5.56 on all my AK's. Mags are not really an issue because 74s are easily usable with a little follower work, course I have plenty of the other. Truthfully the SIG is going to be worth the waite- it will be the best of both worlds.

I got a NIB SAR3 recenty for $400. Got some Weigers, and it works great. Someone on here mentioned that modded Orlite Galil mags work too. I got some (35 rounders) for $10 a piece and they work well too.

------------- When I PCS'd Berlin in late '91, I brought one set of StG-941 furniture, along with the bayo (not a typeical AK pattern), and the Carl Zeiss aus Jena 4X scope that I got at a local Flohmarkt (Flea Market). Even got the StG bolt. Also got an AK74A1 5.56mm kit from K-Var ages ago and some mags. Will have to make a good StG-941 clone some day. |

I bought a WASR-3 and added a K-var polymer stockset, modified a Romanian threaded front sight to fit, and added a Romanian muzzle brake.
I get about 2.5 MOA with her using Q3131 and my 4xVOMZ. |
