I just got lucky. I dropped by my FFL to pick up a firearm he was transferring for me, and noticed yet another AK replica on the used rack. Most of them are junk, but I had time to kill and reached for it. The first thing I noticed was that it was in gorgeous condition -- literally "like new." I looked at the side and saw "Arsenal SA M-7." The price tag said $399. I said, "you're going home with me."
So what do I need to know? It has synthetic furniture and a scope rail of some kind on the side of the receiver. It has a single mag that I assume is 30 rounds -- it's long and curved (chambering is 7.62x39, by the way).
Do standard AK mags fit this thing? I hear lots of talk about different mags for AKs. What are "waffle" mags? Anything I should look for or stay away from?
Also, the trigger seems extremely light to me. Is that normal, or has it likely been worked on?
