Ok, the more I learn, the more I am confused.   What kind should I buy?  From whom shall I buy it?
There are too many types to decide!!  I also want to put a underfolder and brake on it.  Also, I'm getting hella educated on aks, this forum is awesome.

You can buy a Romanian SAR-1 with an underfolder and a FH for about $350.  Check out Shotgun News for the importers that have them on sale.  I think all of them get the SARs from Century, but I'm not sure.

The SAR-1 is 7.62x39, which goes for about $70 - $80/1000 rounds of Wolf.  It seems to be the cheapest ammo compared to 5.5.6 (.223) and 5.45.  With ammo so cheap, its not unusual to shoot up a case on a weekend.  Unlike my AR, my AK only needs to be cleaned every 3K rounds or so.

I considered getting a wsar-3 which shoots .223's. Can't decide if I wanna do that or spend twice as much and get a nice bushy ar15.

Since you have both....which you like better? I am assuming the ar15 is much more accurate.

You assume correctly...

Well, I don't lack evil rifles, I just lack an ak style one.
What's a krink pistol?  And I'm torn between the 7.62X39 and the 5.45X39.  Can't hunt anything with them in Pennsylvania, so I just plink with these things. If I lived somewhere I could use one of my ar-15s, well, that would be my varmit gun for sure.
Also, my goal isn't to spend $800 dollars on an ak-47/ak-74.

Ok, I've been leaning towards the 5.45X39.  Thank you all for you help!
