I know I will get a lot of opinions on this but, since I know nothing about AK's, I have several questions. First let me say that I don't want to get into the ARvsAK debate here. I already own 2 ARs and will own more in the future. Okay, to my questions.
1) Are there any countries/manufacturers that I should stay away from or, in the converse, any that are much better than others.
2) Are the Saigas AK 47s or some variant? Is Saiga the name of the manufacturer?
3) Are there any sellers that you guys might recomend?
4) I have noticed that some of these guns seem like they are remanufactured. It looks like they bring in a barreled action and put on new stocks etc. and are selling these as new. Is this what is happening?
5) What I am looking for is a new or lightly used gun that is reliable. I also want one that is good looking. I like the plastic stocks or a nice looking wood stock.
6) What I am not looking for is a sniper rifle. I already own those as well as 2 very accurate AR15s. I dont expect this to be a target rifle I just want a gun that will do what I have already stated.
7) Price is a consideration so I would realy like to know what you guys think of the saigas as they seem very affordable. Are they an AK? Are they reliable? Do they take AK mags?
