[quote="Simo Häyhä":38cbd]looks like a WASR10 not an AK[/quote:38cbd]

Sure it's an AK......a cheap one but an AK none the less. The only thing i can comment on it so far is fit & finish. Not too shabby but i haven't treated the wood furniture yet. The mags fit pretty good with minimal wobble and the front sight doesn't appear to be canted. The big test would be feeding and ejecting. If there are problems, i should be able to sort them out but i don't foresee any. As you know, the prices of "higher" end AK's are through the roof and i can't see spending that kind of cash on a crudely built rifle. For the price of a Russian or Chinese AK, i could simply build a kickass AR. That's another reason i went with the Saiga. Now that rifle is built in Russia and the fit & finish is much better and it shot extremely well. I swapped out the rear stock to a "thumbhole" one. I may pick up another Saiga (at $249.00) and do the conversion so i can fit a pistol grip and regular AK mags.

The best part about most of the rifles we posted are the costs. You can get a Mosin, SKS, WASR, Saiga, Hi-point, Shotgun, for under $300. The price of ammo is going to exceed the weapons!!
