Good also still pricey and sometimes finicky about ammo don't forget the VEPR which come in multiple calibers only thing you need to fill that Evil hole to make

Yeah that’s why I haven’t brought it up. I have a mini14 $700 5 years ago. Has lots of problems

Had to look FAL - no go with the pistol grip.
Never been a Remington fan.
AR10 would have to go under the knife to please his princess

Vepr has also made it on the no more import list (this time Trump added them) just like the saiga
For the FAL just get the magazine pinned, and add the stripper clip top cover. Loads just like an SKS

that was a thought. My brother loves his 357 Henry. I don't like the idea of a tube feed though. Would have to be at the receiver end
Do you have the facebooks?
If so go check out NY Legal Arms, they have a good amount of different Kalashnikovs style rifles from different countries that they are selling for here in NY.
Hell they even have a few AMD 65 (modified)

I didn’t know if they were any good. I don’t have enough funds to just go buy whatever so I needed all your info to help. After all this info I’ve been given now I know I do want one
Let's put it this way. Russian AKM rifles are well pretty fucking good. Mid-low level AKM patter rifles (say century arms) are also pretty good for casual use.
US made Kalashnikovs style rifles have been plagued with many issues. One would think that a russian company would have those issues figured out, especially one of the factories that make the military AKM rifles......
Well that same factory makes Saigas, the same people probably show up to work and get told hey today turn these parts into an AK-103 or that same person with the same parts (well subtract the full auto goodness and add the shitty sporting stock) can be told make saiga

No saigas right now
Well no because they are no longer being imported and haven't been for like 5 years. You will only find them used

That one I posted a PA forum member sell asking $700 that's the lowest price one others are up to $1000
Hell, NY Legal Arms had 2 polish AKM pattern rifles for just under 700 a week or two ago (new)
. . . And just think, you have your pick between a 39 and a 308 . . .
Would you be interested in one of mine?
Veprs were offered in 7.62x51 but I don't think Saigas were. As far as 7.62x39 vs 7.62x51, the former is vastly cheaper however, for me at least the heavier caliber is more fun at the range.
