Well I finally made it out to the gun shop yesterday and was able to inquire about some of the different AK brands. If any of you are from Maryland, I can't recommend a better place to shop than the Gun Rack in Burtonsville. The guys there are very honest and helpful, and they're not into just pushing one brand over another. They were very knowledgeable and had great advice.
I've narrowed it down between the Robinson Armament VEPR http://www.robarm.com/mainpage.htm or the Arsenal SAR or SAM series http://www.arsenalinc.com/index1.html .
Both are extremely well made. However, the VEPR was much heavier due to the RPK reciever. I liked the Arsenal's lighter weight better, but I was wondering how the accuracy is compared to the reports I've seen of the VEPR.
My last question is which caliber to get them in. The imfamous 7.62 vs. .223 debate. Most people have told me to stick to the original 7.62 caliber. But I was wondering if the .223 is more accurate. If the accuracy is not going to be that much different between these 2 calibers, then I'd like to stick to 7.62, because finding good .223 magazines seems to be a challenge.
Anyway, I thank you all in advance for the help.
