I had one of those. It was built canted and was significantly over gassed—even for an AK. That said, it had a very nice finish on metal.

1973 (11)  Polish side folder kit built on a Nodak-Spud receiver I got from Atlantic. When it arrived at the FFL the crew working were in awe of its beauty. I added a different muzzle brake and Russian sling/mag.

That being said, if you find a good example at a reasonable price, it’s a great out of the box rifle that doesn’t require much tinkering.

I have earlier examples of milled rifles that a I probably prefer, but the values have gone up so much that I wouldn’t consider buying them again.

Ammo is another consideration.
$180 cases of Golden Tiger are a thing of the past so the appeal of cheap blasting is not there anymore.

If I didn’t have a lifetime supply of 7.62x39, purchased at bargain basement prices, I’m not sure I would start in deep anymore.



I bought Golden Tiger CHEAP and stacked it DEEP


I saw the writing on the wall myself and backed up the pallet jack for Golden Tiger and laquer coated Barnaul.
My only real concern going forward is if the jenga tower I built with the cases ever falls over I'll be crushed like a bug..

I didn't see the writing back then but I still have one case of GT.  I did, however, see the writing for other imported surplus and acted accordingly.  
I have a few cases of Yugo brass to go through before I have to shed a tear and break into the GT.  Should I pass it down to my son or shoot it??

If I was buying a factory one, it would be a Zastava. But they’re all gonna be pretty similar.

People used to laugh about WASRs, and now they’re fairly well regarded. Arsenals have always had a premium, but it’s an AK, not a McMillan.

Frankly, you’re a good 10 years late. You were supposed to have AKs when they were cheap, and get ARs now that they’re the cheap things.

Tough call.
I've kind of ordered my stash based on long term storage suitability.

Unlaquered Wolf/Bear gets used first.
Boxed laquer second.
Spam canned laquered last.
A bunch of M67 just sits in storage because it's corrosive and I'm too lazy to clean my rifles after shooting it.

I keep a few thousand non- corrosive brass laying around for some reason.
For a while, a few years back, Norma was putting out brass 7.62x39 for reasonable prices with frequent sales.
Bought a bunch just because, not really sure what to do with it but it's clean and pretty accurate.

I actually have sold off almost all of my AKs, RPDs, PKMs, etc.

The ones I know i have left are a Hungarian underfolder I bought in 1980s, a Chinese "Hunter" milled receiver converted to sidefolder, and a Saiga .308 with long barrel (IIRC 20 in) with the plastic "sniper" stock... all bought while that stuff was cheap.

There might be a couple more stashed away - I know there's a minty polish underfolder kit in one of the footlockers in the garage.

Nothing was planned, my interests changed and this is just how it turned out.

Are the $1800 Arsenals worth it? Or is my money better spent on a mid tier AK? If so what brand? Anything worth it in the $1000-$1200 range?


Knowing what I do now but starting all over, if I had to get a heathen caliber like 7.62x39 I'd go with the PSA 103 with FN CHF barrel. Suppressed they shoot under 1.5 MOA, which has been verified by a number of peeople including Rob Ski of AKOU. The PSA 103 is domestically made so no import bans or ridiculous collector prices and it outshoots every 7.62 rifle I've handled except maybe the Valmet. Can't speak to 20,000+ round count longevity yet but they seem to be holding up well overall. It'd be nice to see one at Battlefield Vegas getting the 100,000 full auto rental life but I haven't heard of them picking up a PSA yet

I'm not as sure yet about the PSA 5.56 guns, but the 5.45 rifles have had some teething troubles and get a lot of hate on some AK forums. I have a 5.45 PSA and it's been fine but it's not a super high round count gun for me yet, nothing like I've done with some of my russian or bulgarian guns

Speaking of bulgarian, the Arsenals are great rifles but they are hit by collector grade pricing and consequently expensive. I'm not ready to say they aren't worth it but prices can get really high. Again knowing what I know now if I had to buy only one I would personally consider an SLR107FR in 7.62x39 but would probably go with the PSA 103. If it was 5.45 it would be a Russian SGL31-44 all day, or an older bulgy SLR105, or maybe an SLR104FR. I have all of these and there are no significant performance differences between them

Rob's testing of the PSA 103. I had two of these at one point, and two other friends had them as well, so I was able to observe a total of 5 rifles shooting 1.5 MOA suppressed, and one unsuppressed that did 1.8 MOA with irons




You can do a lot with AKs these days btw. Almost everything a typical carbine AR can do I've also been able to get my AK105 do as well, but at about 1 pound heavier than the equivalent night vision AR setup

Man, I LOVE my Vepr. Only managed to get a Vepr12. I do have several siagas in various gauges and calibers (and all need to be cleaned right now). They are nice rifles. The finish is garbage and comes off the brake cleaner or hoppes. They shoot good and will outlive me. The Vepr is just a step up. Everything is better. Bigger receiver, better fit and finish, better everywhere. Also love the BHO on the Vepr12.

All of my Bulgarian rifles are AK74, an AKS74U and an AKS74. Both fantastic and very accurate rifles.

Built up a Romy RPK recently. Best/closest to the Russian RPK without being Russian. It runs good. Seems to be accurate enough. Fit and finish it what I made it be since I built it.

Pic for the hell of it.

This is the correct answer.

I have a pile of AKs but not because they are good, because they were cheap.

Now that they are expensive, it makes no sense.

I have a WASR and Polish milled.
I really preferred the AK74 I had, but with FBHO, it became worth so much, I caved (that and the fact that none of the shooting buddies have one).
Realistically, I keep the AK for when someone wants to try shooting for the first time, they always want to shoot and AK.  Personally, I prefer the SKS to the AK.

The best 762x39 shooter is the PTR32, hands down.

I'm happy with my unfired 1997 Romy CUR2. I've replaced the thumbhole stock with a correct Romanian blonde laminate and added a correct muzzle break. Two Rivers pinned a threaded bushing on the thin barrel and timed it perfectly. Yes, it's a safe queen but I bought it cheap enough to be able to keep it in this condition as an investment piece. They really are the best of the SAR era rifles.

There are a lot of cool AKs in this thread. Who’s the best smith to send my AK to replace my front end? Money is not a concern. I want it done right. Last guy to build an AK for me was worse than Century.
