Arsenal and milled. Stamped receivers are good to go as well. I have an SLR-101s and it's a great rifle. In terms of function my WASR/10 was just as good as the Arsenal but the fit/finish was below that of the Arsenal.
A simple question, or maybe not so simple. Of all the different Importers offering AK's and disregarding the prices what would be the general thought as to the best AK using quality parts, workmanship, dependability. I have seen some weapons that have been bashed then on next page praised. So who has the most consistent AK.
If you see a Sig 556R, run. They are crap... period.
Totally disagree. The early models had lots of problems, the newer Swiss stock equipped models are quickly developing an excellent reputation.
I have a converted Saiga, and I absolutely love it. It's accurate, reliable, and fit my needs well. That being said, that's simply my experience. YMMV.

Hey Fishbed77 -- If you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost to convert your Saiga? It looks great! That's exactly the route I'm looking to go.
In my experience, the milled Arsenals are probably the most consistent AKs. The extra weight of the milled AKs (they go about a pound and a half or so heavier than stamped units) is nice to have as it dampens the already gentle recoil of the 7.62x39 round enhancing controllability even more. Of course, there are those who'll complain about that little bit of weight and then go on to slap four and half pounds worth of accessories on their favorite AR.
