paid $450 + tax for mine in a shop, but I picked that one over the $399 ones because it had the tapco g2 trigger (better of two options they usually have, i think), had the cleaning rod under the barrel, the front sight was straight and it worked with every magazine I tried out of their surplus mag bin - things to check for. There is a little variation in what all comes in the box with them I think, but mine came with a tapco polymer mag, a surplus steel mag, bayonet and sheath, cleaning kit, oil bottle, and canvas mag/accessory pouch, plus some little rubber thing that I think goes around the bayonet; I think that's pretty much what they all come with.
OPINION: The polymer mag is a piece of crap (with my rifle, for ME), it may be a bit tighter and has less wobble, but I don't care about wobble and I have an AR I can go fondle if I want tightness. The polymer mags (US made) are made with an American mindset - make something as uniform and precise as possible, to very tight tolerances and with little allowance for variation... unfortunately, they are for a soviet bloc rifle, which was made to be about as loose as a hooker behind on rent payments, with a statistical QC process something akin to a five year old lining up wooden building blocks, and so the two philosophies don't really go well together. the polymer mag doesn't go in or come out as smoothly as the steel ones, and God help you if you get that thing stuck up in there, because you're going to have to do some UFC MMA combo moves on it to get it to come out again, whereas with the steel ones, just press the mag release lever and kinda yank it and it's back out. |

The polymer mags (US made) are made with an American mindset - make something as uniform and precise as possible, to very tight tolerances and with little allowance for variation Here are two other possibilities: The plastic magazine had to be thicker in order to make it strong enough not to break the second or third time it was used. The plastic magazine was made thicker specifically to eliminate lateral play, because so many people seem to be so concerned about it. In other words give the people what (they think) they want. |

That's exactly what I am saying. We like cool new materials (plastic), and we get trying to have our parts fit nicely down to a science, but when one part of the process (AK) is "out of control," or of a greater variance allowance, then building a component (magazine), no matter how well you make it, to more stringent guidelines is not going to work, a much greater percentage of the time. |
