I am looking at getting one of the New Bulgarian SSR 85C AKs from Aim Surplus.

http://www.aimsurplus.com/acatalog/Bulgarian_SSR-85_7.62x39_Rifle.html

Any input or thoughts on the choice?

This is the max I am willing to spend(actually about $50 more than) and I think its my best option.

oh and BTW... Its has to be post ban config as I am in NY, I already confirmed with AIM that they can ship to NY without the mag.

I got mine from AIM a couple of weeks ago and it had enough problems that I had to return it. Bryan at AIM has been very prompt in correspondence with me and is replacing that rifle with a new one.
I really liked it except for it's problems, and that could happen with anybodys product. Bryan offered me a quick refund, but I really liked the idea of having the Bulgy, so I opted for another rifle instead.
I think you'll like the rifle and I have found out that you can buy from AIM with confidence.
Good luck,

thanks for the input.  

What kind of problems were you having?

also, dumb question, but does it have a side mount plate?

Several small things of minor importance. The big thing was severe feeding problems. I think I could have solved that myself as I do much of my own work, but I didn't want to foul things up on a new rifle and then expect Aim to step in and take care of it. I would not worry about it  because as I told you, Aim will take care of you.
No dumb question, no it does not have a side mount.

No, I used Wolf and Barnul FMJ. Just one of those things. I'm expecting the new one to be "jamb-up"!!
