World's TOP 5 worst AK producers

[Hacker15E]

If they could churn out that quality of rifle for export 30 years ago, there is no reason they'd be making "the world's worst AKs" today.

Of course there is...that's not actually logic.

I'm sure in about 30 seconds you can name a dozen products or brands in the United States that used to produce a high quality product in the past, but whose current production is considered cheaper or inferior.

Century Arms does suck .

But Chinese AKs are actually pretty good, about above average quality. I question the reliability of this source.
Maybe they're confusing them with Chinese mosins?

When/where have you seen these Chinese AKs?

If you're referring to any of the Chinese AKs in the United States that were imported in the 80s and 90s, that's not what is being discussed in the top post. They're talking about 2020 current-production rifles that are being exported to other areas of the world (and are banned from import to the US).

I bought a fixed wire stock AMD-65 from IO during the ban, before I knew any better. I haven't had any problems with it, but I haven't put many rounds through it either.

I have owned this Poly since the late 80s, it is well made, has an excellent trigger and is very accurate with good ammo I bought it in a pawnshop for less than $400, I have been offered more than three times what I paid for it but I don't want to sell it.

The criticism of IO AKs is related to their US-built offerings, not imports.

Isn't Pioneer an IO import? They are proven junk...
