An AK for the new year.

[Kenneth]

Father in law told me tonight that he wants to purchase an AK for the new year. I do not know much about AK’s except had a WASR-10 about 10 years ago.

He knows I do not buy cheaper guns anymore and he came to me asking about guns so he knows it won’t be a $500 gun.

With that being said he doesn’t need or want to pay for a Rifle Dynamics or other top tier gun.

What are the middle of the road tiers that are easy to get ahold of?

Something possibly with a modern style rail and able to be adaptable. Able to change muzzle devices and mount a red dot. (He’s in his 60’s and I believe that will help him out).

I’ll second RetroRevolver77’s recommendation. A Zastava PAP M70 would also be a solid choice.

WASR the biggest bang for the buck. ZPAP/Polish middle of the road. VEPR or Arsenal top of the heap.

The WASR I had was $450-$500 new and it was junk. What changed with them? I had canted sights and trigger was crap. Not to mention was extremely loose and rattled.

For an additional fee, Atlantic used to pick out WASR’s that didn’t have canted sights, etc- not sure if they still offer this service.

OP, when I was after an AK, I was able to find a Romanian SAR-1 for $500. My understanding is that they typically run a bit higher than that, but if you can find one for a decent price that would be my recommendation

The best way to buy a WASR is to be able to actually lay eyes on it beforehand.

Consider a VZ58? They are pretty awesome.

This is true for any gun, but it’s a must for AKs. A good WASR will run like a raped ape.
