hell yeah. For that kind of money you can be looking at a Vepr which is more of a RPK but a hell of a good gun. Lots of other good stuff in that price range.

For that kind of cash you can have either a Vector underfolder, or a Vector classic and get change back. Yes, I am a fan of Vectors. Go to www.atlanticfirearms.com and look at their AK section.

You can get two AKs for the price of one AR. I had a few AKs, then tried the AR, now I have
no ARs. There are as many different varieties as a person could imagine, and none of them bad from what I can tell. Let us know which one you get. |

If you want an AK-74 clone look for an Arsenal SLR-105 A1, usually they go for around $600. Closest thing you will ever find to a real 74. They fire the 5.45x39 round, which is pretty similar to the 5.56 round the ARs shoot.
SLR-105s have been discontinud and are no longer being imported, but you might find one on the equipment exchange. I love mine, so much fun to shoot. Be advised that ammo is very hard to find right now, but many of us are hoping that will change soon. We'll see, but the ammo problem is something you should consider. |

They are in short supply. I paid $450 a few weeks ago from my local dealer and $525 at a gunshow this past weekend. Most small dealers have only one or two, if they're lucky. Some are price gouging at $600 or more. |

I don't think you can lose with a 500-600 budget. You're going to get a high quality AK for that price.
Just stick with the brands and make these people have mentioned. |

who built the euro ak? call up altantic. if they say it is an elite build RUN away.
personally, i would go with the vector underfolder for $600 http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/programming/expand.asp?Prodid=8 also you could pick up a WASR for $300, slap a $50 folder on there and have some money left for mags and ammo  http://www.militarygunsupply.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=FICEWASR of course some people will tell you a WASR is a low grade POS... |

i bought an SSR-85-C2 and it runs great. i was a little worried that it would not shoot Wolf HP based on some of the reviews i have read but mine shoots HP, SP and FMJ rounds just fine. the only complaint i have is that my muzzel break is loose when lined up with the pin. i also looked at the European Classic but after talking to Atlantic firearms i decided the SSR-85-C2. i think i made the right choice. |

I paid $500 for my Global Trades. Atlantic sells them. It is a nice AK. Vetors are good and of course Arsenals are good and yes if you can find one Veprs are good. Those are all top of the line AKs and yes you have been living in the AR15 only world to long. LOL
