I would like to get a Kalishkinov in case Barry gets elected and prohibits my right to choose.
I see that I can get an Arsenal SSR-85C for about $600-$700. I read that those firearms are "new" but use some surplus parts from bulgaria. Overall, I've read that owners of these are pretty happy.
On the other hand, I see that I can get an Arsenal SAM-7 for maybe an SLR-95 for about $1300. These have milled receivers (which is suppose to be better, but not that relevant) and the quality of these is suppose to be very good (I saw a video of a guy run a SAM-7 over with a truck and then pick up the gun and fire).
I'd like to just get one represenative of an AK for my collection, to baby but also to shoot from time to time. I may also get a Saiga in the collection to later modify, but for now, I just want a AK that I don't have to do much with.
Could you all help me choose? Is the premium price for the SAM-7 worth it? Why the heck does Arsenal not make SAM-7s anymore; it appears there is a demand for them.
Thanks
