So my wife held a SBR Krink (Red Jacket, I think) years ago in the LGS and liked it. Thought it was pretty. The idea then died as I didn't get a SBR at the time. Then the house went pretty much AR only.
Recently we had a baby and my wife is home on maternity leave and binge watching Burn Notice. The last season or so apparently has a bunch of AKSU-74 action, and she noticed and brought the Krink up again (after I figured out what "that pretty gun with the wood on it" meant). It's in her head to get one, and I'm not gonna try to dissuade her because I'm not insane. Hey, new gun. To the point that I mentioned the carbine AR I was building her (the lower is in the basement) and she said, "Uh, I thought we were getting me a Krinkov."
I'd prefer to not get something that has to sit in a gunstore NFA jail for a year, and I know next to nothing about AKs. Only current production I could really find was Arsenal making pistols and 16" rifles, but I haven't found much on their ease of conversion once papered. She also wants the triangle folder, so it has to be able to eventually take that. And the wood grips, but I figure that's easily changed (right?).
Any assistance is appreciated.
