Lets see who likes what. I myself like Bulgarian 1st then Chinese 2nd then Romanian 3rd in that order.

Let the debate begin.

 

[Vis]

#1 Polish Tantal ,PMKMS
#2 Russian Vepr
#3 Chinese Norinko ,Polytec
#4 Romanian SAR
I can rate only these, because thats all I have

 

[sniper69]

This may sound like heresy to some but my favorite is my norinco.

 

[mike26038]

Chi-com definately..

If we could get real Russian AKs and not made over sporting rifles, then that would be my fav..

 

[Chiroone]

Best I have ever seen were those from East Germany, they were around during the 80s, I have not seen any since.

 

[scubadvr]

I wish there were E.German kits available!!!

 

[hotbarrel]

I like the polish ones with the folder

 

[rgswamp]

I favor Romanian, parts are cheap, available everywhere, & with a little love they perform well. Out of the 8 AK'S I own, 7 are Romanian. The red headed step-child is Bulgarion. I love that one too. I don't care where they come from, they are cool.

 

[scubadvr]

What caliber is the Bulgarian? I will bet it is one of your favorite shooters.

 

[rgswamp]

Hey Jack,

You're right, I really like this one. It's a 5.45 critter with black furniture, 74 brake, & an aimpoint optic. This little sucker is dead on at 150 yards, no recoil, & no failures. I'll email you a pic of it & the now modified sar2 I got from you awhile back. Keep on bikin' & gunnin'.

Ron, check out the Century Arms site. The have WASRs for sale. I am thinking about getting two of the WASR 3s, one to keep as is and the other to make a folder for after the ban sunsets. It will be great shooting the same caliber that my AR shoots. How have you been, hows business? I saw the new springer, boy it looks like something right out of the 40s, its a beauty!!. Thats all I need four Harleys!!! Jack

Speaking of east german lois had posted on another forum she had about 15 kits some romi and some east german.I got the east german the finish was bad but the bore looks good and it had a wood lower handguard,the rest was plastic...had the circle in the diamond arsenal mark...

 

[rgswamp]

Jack,
I have seen the ad on these offerings. I too will have to try them out. I've never bought a wasr, so it's time, .223 that is. Let me know if you got the pics I emailed, if not I'll resend. Business is off the wall!! Yeah, that springer is hot!

Regards

Ron

AKs and Harleys are my thing too. I have a Sportster and one day I will have a Roadking. I have 2 little girls that need more than dad needs a Bigger bike. :thumbup1:

 

[mauser88]

The early Kassnar Hungarian imports are still my favorites.

 

[maxim.semyonov]

1. russian AKM with the laminated wood
2. chinese T56
3. e german ak47(or whoever it was) with the old red plastic

 

[Polish Taipan]

Bulgarian RPK's

 

[F-Troop]

My favorite is an inherited Polytech milled AK47/S. The metal and wood finish is spectacular.

Second, a Polytech AKS-223 in .223 with an attached bayonet.

Next in order the Polish PKMKS underfolder

The AMD-63 and the AMD-65 from Lois.

Lastly one of the Romanian underfolders from I/O.

Well, really, the last one but still respectable is the SAR-1 (a 2000 model). It was my first intro to the AK.

 

[Texxut]

Russian AKM.
