Picked up my AKS-74 today. When I took it out of the package all I could think was "Wow!", it is really a nicely built 74. The fit is very nice, no gap between the safety selector and the dust cover, bolt cycles smoothly, folding stock folds well (although the retainer hook does not like to engage, but I think that is from it not being worked much). The finish is a Durakote or Gunkote type of finish and is a nice semi gloss and looks very nice. The surplus Bulgarian parts look like they have never seen service. Sights are dead on perfectly installed. It came with a Bulgarian drop case and bayonette, some stripper clips and loading guide, a 74 cleaning kit, an oil bottle (plastic variety and in pretty much destroyed condition), a leather sling (was hoping for a nice web sling, but oh well), and a 30 round magazine. The magazine is an Izmash marked Russian mag so that is a nice plus! The only negative I can find is that the stock makes contact (very, very slightly) with the lower corner of the scope rail and it somewhat rubs the finish. I am being nit picky on that one though, it is a very nicely built AKS-74, especially when the cost is compared to others on the market. I'll try to get some pics up when I can borrow a camera as mine is not wanting to work.
