.223 AK’s are not that prevalent.
Siaga makes a hunting version as does Molot.
Other than that they are pretty scarce.

I know. Try finding a magazine for one! They are worth their weight in gold!

I have a Century Arms Golani sporter in .223. The Israeli Galil was a refinement of the Valmet which grew from the Kalashnikov and the Golani is the semiauto version.

I love it. All steel, machined rcvr, a little weighty but Tapco mags help. I must be an `AK snob’. The AR just leaves me cold. First qualified on the M-16A1 in 1970, last qualified on the M-16A2 in 2010 before I retired (long story). Pure personal preference, nothing more.

Maybe it’s the AR charging handle, like a toothbrush. Forward assist afterthought. Tap, tap, pull, tap. Rotate selector to semi. Watch...your...lanes.

But grab the AK op handle & you’ve got that bad boy under control.
