    Best AK-47 that isn't a Saiga...

    IDK where you can get one nicely furnitured like the one pictured in my last post. Have wait for the owner, ifit, to answer that one. You can get the M10-762 from Classic Arms (dot com) for about 500 bucks. It's pretty nice and made from all new parts and materials. Looks like this:

    Ifit, thanks. I like it and much satified with the decision so far. Yours is very pretty and looks a lot like an original AK. Tell me, does most of the standard AK stuff fit?

    And yes, the "cuisine" issue was a factor, too! I like popping soda bottles just a tad more than working on MOA (and as has been said here, "Minute of Bad Guy" is a factor, too). That's why I favor the 9mm over the .45ACP and .40 S&W. I do love them all and shoot them but when I do my regular...

    I've been hearing and seeing that lately as well the fact that they're easier to work on than I'd thought. And I do like the AR platform. Back in basic in the 70's I really fell in love with the M16. Still may get an AR someday. AR mods, tools, and accessories are quite numerous and varied but...

    (Actually meant as response to RobG but could figure out how to delete. But info on mags still good to know ;-])-- Just got back from a weekend visit of the one at campus and the wedding gown was just ordered for the other. It's pricey but all worth it. Just bought momma a new car and I...

    AK Platform M10-762 Only took 1 picture. Sorry. New toy and bag full of ammo. One track mind. This is new right out of the box after 60 or 90 rounds, letting the barrel chill out a bit. Picked it up, basic function check, and drove straight to the club. Haven't fired a military platform rifle...

    Picking up my new Cugir M10-762 in a couple hours. Have a big bag full of surplus non-corrosive 7.62x39 and greatly looking forward to heading club-bound after a quick check over of the gun. You know, big dumb male with a new toy :D Even at my age. Just plain itching. Bringing the black 870 and...

    Best AK-47 that isn't a Saiga...

    Thanks much. I think I will probably go with the Cugir M10-762 for 500 bucks. For a start, anyway. Upon looking around the gun forum galaxy I haven’t found much in the way of negativity—excepting those who don’t own one, or think spending more is always better. This may be true more often...
