I'm in the market for a good starter AK (good fit, finish, customer service) and need advice on the best place to get one. I want to try and stay around $500-600 and have seen several sites with them in this range (Atlantic, Vector, Robarms, etc).have
Thanks.

Mick.

I would get one from Atlantic cause they have many different ones to choose from and many of them are built by the builders you listed.

Aimsurplus.com very nice people there!

For a $100 more you could have the best AK made (cough)Arsenal(cough). Templar could fix you up ...

Keep talking guys, I'm taking notes (always wanted a AK to go along with may other A's)

another +1 for Templar..
Atlantic has a good rep as well..

Take a look at Arsenals before buying an AK.  After handling one you'll want to save that extra $150.   Very nice rifles.

Not a bad starter...

I got a gun from Atlantic back in May. I am very happy with the gun, but my purchasing experience with that company was less than ideal. Mr. Bunting only takes orders that are mailed in,  (he has a Order Form on his site) that's not too bad, but he also has rules on HOW to order. That's OK all the way up till you try to print out his order form and it won't go through. (seriously) I have emailed the form to myself and tried printing out the email, and it still wouldn't print. I even emailed the form to my shop and tried printing it out on another computer. Same thing. I ended up having to type out my own Order Form in order to get the ball rolling.

Once you have located an FFL dealer to process your transfer, inform the dealer of the type of firearm you are looking for to make sure it is legal in your area and ask what the fee is for his involvement. Fees vary, so you may want to shop around to different dealers for the best price the national average is $25-$40.

Have the dealer send a clear ink signed copy of their current FFL & the  ORDER FORM  to us via mail, FedEx ,ups etc. Faxes, emails, expired or unclear licenses are not deemed acceptable.

I've pointed a lot of people his way in the past, but now I warn them.

Buy an Arsenal you'll never need another AK for the rest of your life IMHO its the best AK you can get short of building it your self with everything you want.
