Well, my 7.62x39 problems are over. Rather then going with Yugo M70 or Saiga, I got myself a NORINCO hunter. 20.5 inch chrome lined barrel. Milled receiver. It doesn't look "evil", but a milled receiver + chromed barrel more then make up for it. Also getting RUSSIAN SKS.
Now, my search if for 223 rifle (5.56 NATO).
I will definitely get a 223 Norinco (I happen to like thumbhole stocks) and, later V-93. I also may get an SLR rifle instead of Norinco, if the price is right.
Now, there are also other rifles I am looking at:
1) Saiga 223 (20.5 incher). It has a chrome lined barrel, but a stamped receiver, and it is pretty thin too. I am not sure about the accuracy of this rifle. I heard very mixed things about it. But the reliability and price are right.
2) AR-180B. It is a bit pricey, I heard good things about its accuracy, but it's reliability seems lacking. It doesn't have chrome lined barrel. I heard it is a bit picky about ammo and mags and has plastic lower receiver.
3) Kel-Tec SU-16A. I heard nothing but good things about its accuracy. However, it is pricey, and I am not sure about how sturdy it is. it's reliability is also unknown
4) Various AR-15 rifles. I heard good things about their accuracy, however, they are pricey and their reliability seems to be questionable. For every person who claims that they are reliable, once claims that they are bad. Besides, they ARE pricey. For the same money I can (and will) buy a V-93. An HK system rifle and never have any problems with it.
5) Ruger 14. I heard NOTHING but bad things about the rifle. It is pricey, I just don't like it. So it is not even in the running anymore.
6) Daewoo DR200. This is a dark horse. It seems to be a mix of AK and AR systems. Anyone knows how accurate and reliable it is (yes, it has a thumbhole stock, but I happen to LOVE those).
Please, if it is not too much trouble. Leave me the feedback on those rifles.
I am a beginning gun owner and beginning member of ISRA and NRA. So, please, help a newbie....
On another hand. I came accross a clone of G3 made by Springfield (SAR-8). Are those any good?
Thank you all very much in advance for your valuable help
