i think you would be very happy with the ak-74, the modern kalashnikov.

for $300 or so, they are hard to fault. the round, itself, is an amazing little performer that is fun to shoot.

when selecting any romanian sar series kalashnikov, select first for straight sights and gas block. this condition is the most difficult for the average guy to correct, and a simple, thorough eyeballing can eliminate candidates that have the components installed improperly.

try to select one that exhibits a resonable black oxide and varnish job.

after expiriencing trigger slap, you can call redstararms up and order their adjustable match trigger and your fal's and ar's will be envious.
