This is not a good idea IMO.
5.45 or 7.62x39 are both a better choice than 5.56. If your dead set on the 5.56 get yourself an AR15. Mike |

There are still some SA M-5S's available here at excellent prices: www.auctionarms.com Do a search for SA M-5 ...
If you really want a 5.56x45 in an AK then Arsenal is it, mine is extremely accurate. K-Var is out of 5.56 mags right now but will be getting more mags sometime (soon?) ... |

In your case I have to point out that arsenalinc.com is in Vegas for a SAM5 with side rail for optics options later on. While the waffle mag supply is not perfect from k-var.com, they keep coming around and showing up on EE as well.

Definately Arsenal. They are great rifles. While I don't have one in 5.56 I do have one in 7.62 and 5.45. I am also working on a 7.62 underfolder. They are worth every bit of $$$. From what I understand the milled 5.56's have NO recoil whatsoever.

I would also not venture into the Romanians. I have had a couple, they work which is all that is necesarry but you will eventually want an Arsenal. Romy's are rough looking.

I would get the milled Arsenal now, but the rumors say a stamped one is coming down the road.
Another option is a Saiga conversion, but expect lots of money and obstacles. My attempt at a Saiga conversion |

True, the Romanian SAR-3 and Wasr-3 rifles are pretty rough, but with a little work can be made into a really good rifle. Soon as InRange gets done, I will have an excuse to post some pics of my ugly duckling SAR-3 that they are doing for me

No doubt they are good rifles, they are AK's. But when you start looking at an Arsenal as the "only one" AK you can get easily hooked. Sure they cost more but if you are considering it, you will eventually buy one anyway. |
