AK Guys ... Need your opinions on this potential purchase

It's the stamped receiver, not the milled one

Full description is
Century Arms AK63DS Semi Auto AK-47 Hungarian Surplus Under Folding Stock RI2397-X

I don't own an AK, and this "seems" legit for the price but would appreciate the input of AK Yoda's as to whether this is a decent choice. Honestly, I don't plan to shoot it or add to it much, just want something decent to shoot recreationally now & then.

I like that it has a new stamped receiver, new barrel and otherwise surplus Hungarian FEG parts.

That said, I don't know what I don't know here ... I've never even fired an AK.

EDIT ... this seems to be a much better choice, better overall. Def like that I can mount an optic to it https://www.classicfirearms.com/zast...-rifle-ri2087n

NPAPs are good rifles. Especially with the rebate going on now.

I agree that NPAP is a good rifle. Personally I would stay away from an under folder on my first ak. Go with the M70, it's a good rifle at a good price.

It kinda depends on why you want the AK. If you want it to be a practical rifle, a fixed stock is better for shooting. If you want it to be 'representative of the breed', well that right there is it.

[PattonWasRight]

Okay ... you guys have me with a definite lean to the M70 NPAP made in Serbia by Zastava

If I understand correctly, some of their design is proprietary?

You can't change the stock to 'generic' AK for example?

Having a solid receiver optic mount base on it is a big plus. I'm not a fan of the stock sights, they look like a Mosin's,

The underfolder is the first AK I ever wanted, and after shouldering one it's the last one I would ever own.

For anyone debating the NPAPs....

Thanks for weighing in. I have one on order, coming in soon. And hey, really enjoy your videos. You cover things in depth, and your communication/presentation style make you very easy to listen to. Rarely do I listen to your counterparts' videos in full as I usually jump forward toward the wrap-up, but yours I watch in full. Keep up the great content!

Those folding stocks look cool but are brutal on your cheek. It's not just "no real cheek weld" more of the fact that it's a narrow piece of metal hitting your teeth/cheek bone. Samson used to make a bolt on cheek weld for the underfolders, don't know if they still do.

Yes Yugos do have proprietary parts but they're popular enough that there are plenty of aftermarket parts. However, if you already had something in mind look to see if it exists for the yugo before actually buying the rifle

Dont forget UF aks cant/dont have side rails... important if you ever want to use combloc optics.
