I am wanting to purchase an AK-47. From what I have read on the Internet, it seems that most go for the Bulgarian model. Do any of you have AK-47s? If so, what model do you have?

Thanks in advance, just looking for a price point and a good model.

I love my Lancaster Russian red. I replaced the pistol grip with wood and stained it the same.

I've got a romanian. it wasnt pretty wjen i got it but i refinished all the furniture. there are much nicer ak's out there than romanians but it goes bang everyti.e

Most romanians are a bit of a crap shoot because century imports most of the. century isnt known for quality control.

^ This guy knows where it's at. Got mine 3 weeks ago. It is more reliable than a Senior on prom night. Great shooter, easy to clean, killer price, etc. Where I got mine

I have the Yugoslavian m70-AB2 under folder. It has a thicker milled receiver that helps it's accuracy. It shoots as accurate as my Bravo Co. AR-15 out to 100yds

I have a Polytech that was made in China. If you can find one, this is a good model to get but it might be expensive. I do not think that Chinese AK47s are being allowed to be imported into the US.

Am I the only one in here who prefers the look of the wood furniture on an AK?

Nope...I definitely like the wood better.

ETA. on an AK47. That by itself just sounded wrong.

Century Arms Centurion 39 Sporter Rifle

Made in the USA (which means it costs more)

But it comes with the rail mounts which is nice.

Here is a pic of mine.



But seriously, there really isn't a "bad" AK.

You will probably be satisfied with anything you get.

a lot of people seem to like wood furniture on AKs. I already get mistaken for a terrorist, put wood on my AK, and I may as well put a turban on and start praying to Mecca.

Really, I just like them black.

is there a specific reason to the angled cut off of the muzzle I keep seeing on some AK's? or is it just for show
