thx!
If prices go back to normal, 7.62x39 will probaly be cheaper.shoots 5.56, which is far easier to find nowadays than 7.62x39.
Or you could just buy a real AK-pattern which takes AK magazines and accessories. Scopes, folding stocks, etc.
With enough tools, time and money you can turn a Volkswagen Beetle into a sort-of-Porsche 911. But why?
When you have to re-machine the receiver to get an AK mag to even fit, let alone work, when you have to drill and weld an AK scope mount to the receiver in order to mount an AK scope, and when the gas tube and furniture is completely different -- it ain't an AK. Sorry, there's no such thing as a free lunch. They were $169 last year for a reason.

Having to drill, weld, file, etc. -- that's machining.
I'll tell you what -- why don't you tell my why they cost only $169 last year, if they were better than the others? You can't, because you know they are butchered crap.
Again with the ad hominems. Totally unnecesary. It would be sufficent to allege, "Saigas have scope mounts."
Still doesn't make them an AK. Sure, they can be worked on for hours and replacement parts eventually fitted until they look and function somewhat more like an AK. I don't deny that. I don't even hate them. But I do hate the attitude of equivalency driven by commercial incentive

I know they are butchered crap;
For starters, the fact that out of the box they will not accept an AK magazine, yet are billed as AK-pattern. For another, the fact that they do not have an AK trigger group. For yet another, their ridiculous out of the box cheap plastic furniture. Finally, the fact that they cannot accept the AK bayonet or cleaning kit without major modifications and replacement parts being ordered.
