Which new Rifle to buy? (vanity)
05.27.10 | Myself

Posted on 05/27/2010 4:40:33 PM PDT by 2aberro

OK,, I have a pretty good selection of firearms, Ak47's, Bolt guns, .22's, 30-30's, shotguns, several good pistols and a gun safe. (ammo for all) But I don't have a AK74. Are there known reliable models out of the box?(the ammo is pretty cheap now)I've even heard of some of the cheaper models key-holing.

I have been told that Century builds are hit/miss, and Saiga's have that funny trigger. For under $600 bucks,, (no I don't want an AR) what model AK74 is available?

(PS,, I love AR's, but I have been told that as long as you have an Armorer, go with the AR,, if you don't,,, go with the AK)

Go overseas, buy what you want, and ship it home with a car engine block, labeled car parts.

Love my Saigas, 12 and 762x39

Yes,, I have a Saiga in 16" 762/39. I also have a WASR that has a better trigger and better furniture,, got lucky :-) Both are GREAT!

Still have the hots for a 5.45/39

Now,, now,, that is illegal, (not like illegal immigrants which are kinda legal). Don't what BATF chassin you... way worse that ICE which gives you a happy meal and turns you loose.

Yup. A rifle shouldn’t poop where it ‘feeds’. :>)

haha.. that’s true. I’m stocking up on ammo myself. It sounds like you’ve already made up your mind. I’ve got a Yugo AK47 that was just about given to me. I couldn’t pass it up. Heavy receiver, new barrel, improved trigger, 4 30 round mags and 1 75 round drum mag.

That and my Finn Mosin are my 2 commbloc weapons. Gotta admit, that AK74 with a side scope/optics mount is tempting.

Youll like that better since its chrome lined and has the scope rail.

I don’t know why the price is low compared to the others.
Lancaster is reputable.

"Go overseas, buy what you want, and ship it home with a car engine block, labeled car parts."

Just have Bekins come and box it up overseas and it will be delivered to your house without any hassles. That's how I got valuable collectible items from Europe to here. I had balls and it worked!

Their dragonuv PSL sniper is also a good deal.

If I ever get a bunch of overtime again I might give them a whirl.
