I’ll allow the AK in my home (actually no prob) if he moves his money market to a CD (he’s loaded compared to me). He said he would. Well move 3/4 of it.

better ones come from

* Arsenal SLR Series.
* Arsenal SAM Series.
* Krebs Custom.
* Palmetto State Armory PSAK-47

Israel makes a well regarded AK-47; also the Serbia (npap) version is supposed to be decent.

Worst models are the ones made in Pakistan, Tabuk (Iraq), and Afghanistan; rough castings, jamming issues.
This is super helpful thanks. I’ll pass it along to him.

Yes that blows. They say they are getting more ASAP. They have the $700 one which is pretty cheap.

Yep. My kid isn’t getting a class 3 just yet.
