Well Im in the market for a new tactical rifle, :evil: which will probably be an AK, that being said:

1. What AK should this be built on? I know I want a standard AK, one that all the gadgets and gizmos will fit. The price here is $600-$800. Im not really sure if stamed or milled would matter, but I would like to get a more accurate AK (I know accurate and AK don't go together a whole bunch :eek: )

I know an alternative would by the Rhob Arms XCR in x39. I already have an AK and would like the ammo & mags to be common between them.

2. The rail. Im pretty sure it would be a unimak rail, where to get it and whats the cost going on those things?

3. The stock. I know I want a side folder, one that wont interfere with the weapon firing when folded and wont interfere with a 75 rd drum.

4. Optics. This is the area where Im most tron. Im thinking either a S.P.O.T. scope http://spotscope.com/spot-superior-precision-optical-technologies.html
or just going with an Aimpoint if funds allow. I would like to somewhat co-witness is possible, but its not a priority.

If you guys can think of anything I left out or any alternatives, fell free to suggest away. The total price Im looking for is 1K to ~1300. I have funds for more, but that will cut into the next gun purchase. Im not trying to cut to many corners, just get a reliable go to gun.

This could be a problem. All the folding stocks I know of will interfere with a drum mag when in the folded position (or rather, the drum will interfere with the stock).

Ultimak rails run right about $100 new.
 
If you go the Saiga route it would porobably be cheaper in the long run but, it would be a lot of work and legal hassle you may not want to deal with. It sounds like you want an Arsenal AK-47 and just slap a ultimak and a Aimpoint on it. That should put you right around yopur budget.
