Buy an IO or Century RAS47 and the AK might not always cycle. I build and repair AKs so I’ve seen a few stinkers.
I have 3 lever action rifles, .22, .30-30, and .45-70, and they’ve been no problem.
I build custom AKs. I know which models to not buy. I’m trying to post pics of my VEPR and mak 90 but I can’t do pics on FR. I’ve never seen a lever gun that worked and to this day refuse to buy or even shoot one. I gave them 4 chances and 4 times they didn’t even work AT ALL. I just look down my nose when I see a rifle with a lever. As far as I’m concerned, they’re all obsolete defects
