When I was younger and less knowledgeable I purchased the most expensive gun I have ever (to this day) paid for. A WASR-10. Well, I'm kind of tired of having a crappy gun. SP and HP rounds just get smashed straight into the back face of the barrel instead of going into the chamber. I also had to clean up the horrible tooling inside the gun which made the action so rough it would lock up on itself. I've done a ton of work on it to make it better, and as long as you use FMJ ammo it works fine, but just looking at the thing makes me angry right now.
Anyway, I currently have all this stuff up for sale for $1200 until I figure out what I want to get to replace it. Thats just a FYI, this is really about helping me pick out what to replace it with I just wanted to show you what I already have and what I could price that at and actually sell it.
I know that price is too much but right now that is what I'd need to have in order to part with it not knowing what I want next or how much it is really worth. I just listed it in the off chance that someone saw it who would be willing to actually pay that much.
Anyway, I've been considering switching calibers to 5.45 or 5.56 because of the extra range and, at least I'd think they would be more accurate. I thought I would ask and find out what some of you think who own/have owned AK's in different calibers. I'm familiar with the 7.62 in the AK, and the 5.56 in the M16A2 and A4, but I've never fired a 5.45 and not sure how the 5.56 would be coming out of the AK and if there would be trouble acquiring mags or other things specific to that caliber and model. Arsenal is the only company I've seen who makes the 5.56, and they're all sold out at K-Var so I'm not entirely sure how I'd get one anyway, if gun shops can just order them from Arsenal or what.
I've also found a more cost effective option for the 5.45 but haven't heard of the companies involved.

Century Arms isn't even an option. Local stores don't carry them and I don't have the money to throw away buying another sight-unseen. Also, I'm not so sure about getting anything from Lancaster Arms because of their BBB rating.
So, what would be a realistic price to get the most out of what I'm selling in that picture (and I will be honest with the buyer about the SP & HP issue before the sale is finalized so keep that in mind as well. I don't appreciate being misled and I won't mislead anyone. My Character is worth a lot more than a few extra dollars here and there.) Also, what do you guys think would be good as far as getting a replacement which is readily available, what caliber is best, company, etc.
Thanks for reading my giant wall-o-text!
