I don't know allot about the different varieties of ak-47s out there i was looking at a ROMANIAN UNDERFOLDER at a local gun shop, but I have no idea if that was a quality model or not

Yeah, any AK is better than no AK, especially these days. But, some are better than others in terms of quality and accuracy. But, like most things to get more you got to pay more. Some Romanians are good. Some are not. Some have excessive magazine wobble, lots of trigger slap, and horrible canted sights. Some don't. I would definetely look for canted sights though, especially on cheaper AK's. One trick I have learned is to actual boresight the gun with a laser to see if the iron sights are anywhere close to the laser dot. I learned first hand how totally off some AK sights can be. Some are perfectly fine. Each AK is different... but in my opinion you can get a premium one. http://www.arsenalinc.com/about.htm These are the best I have seen by far. They are made very well. I have see first hand how accurate they can be. Umm.. Yugo AK's are very good. But, I would look at each individual AK long and hard and try to pick the best one that fits whatever budget you can afford. They are super tough and dependable.

We are living in a good time, almost as good as the time before the ill-conceived “assault weapons” ban. Before the ban you could afford a Valmet and the first GALIL’s were hitting the stores . . . having said that when you scan the different sales flyers there are many great deals but it is up to the buyer to be informed. My AK is a pre-ban Polytech Legend and somewhere I have the high gloss owner’s manual. The manual doesn’t make it shoot better but it is a remainder of the original days when the 7.63 x 39’s hit the market . . .

Consider picking up a stock saiga and sending it to Jim Fuller at Rifle Dynamics. It's Ok to leave it stock. But, someone like Jim can make it back into a real ak!
