I have lately become fond of the 5.56mm round. It is fun to shoot and available just about everywhere. For the time being, I am not worried too much about terminal effects (three or four of any round will do the job) so to those of you who would try to talk me out of it, please don't.
Anyhow, I have an AR and was thinking about getting a Bushmaster M-4 as well but I really kind of miss the AK. I have had three, one of them being a 5.56mm VEPR K. It was utterly reliable, extremely accurate, and very fun to shoot. The only problem was the balance sucked. If it had been balanced like a regular AK, I would have certainly kept it. I have been away from AK's for awhile so I am not real informed on what is out there anymore.
Is there anyone making a good 5.56mm?
This is what I am looking for:
Stamped reciever
AK-74 pattern (Using something along the lines of modified AK-74 mags or some other common, reliable mag)
Synthetic furniture
High quality (preferably not a Romanian that I would have to replace parts on to trust)
This rifle will be mostly just a shooter would serve at some level as an HD gun as well. Thank you.
