Some guys from the army came out to shoot with my club. We did shotguns and pistols. They could not stop talking about my lever action shotgun. One of the guys had me take a video of him shooting it, they all loved it. I guarantee they'll be talking about it for weeks. It makes me really happy they enjoyed shooting it so much, probably put about 200 rounds through it today between me and them.
[QUOTE=Npc_Hydra3;51142128]Anybody know if this is a good range toy to get? [url]http://www.ioinc.us/akm247c.html[/url] I've never had an ak and just want it to have one my LGS has one for 550$[/QUOTE]
If its an AKM and its all Americam parts, then the answer is no. You ought to be able to find a WASR in the same price range and it will be a much much better gun.
The exception to that will hopefully be PSA and DDI; here are DDI's new offerings:
"Hammer Forged Trunnions, bolts and carriers - meet new AKs on the Block - straight from TN based DDI (Destructive Devices Industries ).
According to DDI, they are even going to offer hammer forged barrels options as well ($50 upgrade), if those barrels will meet QC standards.
Most expensive model, triangle side folder with cold hammer forged barrel option, is project to sell for just under $1k.
DDI just stared production of those rifles, so expect to see them at your dealers in around 2 weeks."

They wont be the exception. The only people who can make AKs that are actually good are chinese slave laborers and underaged slavs.
[QUOTE=camaroni;51142214]IO is no-no.[/QUOTE]
What make and model in particular would be best in the ~600$ range I know very little about ak's but want a decent cheap one to see what hubbub is all about.
[QUOTE=PrusseLusken;51141351]m-lok is shit pure and simple, at least on poly handguards which is my very limited experience with them. shitty to get in, shitty when they wobble around during tightening, and then you remove them and see the plastic has gotten beat up. mmmm[/QUOTE]
I've had no issues out of mine at all. You can scratch the finish easily on it, but it's a rifle, not a museum piece. I don't give a shit about it being purdy.
Granted, mine's not poly, it's steel and is heavy as fuck.

WASR or Yugo N-PAP

WASR or Npap if you never plan to swap out stock sets.
Its just going to be a decent gun that I take to the range and shoot and pretty much nothing beyond that. Unless I fall in love with the platform

Get a 5.45 AKS-74, then you'll fall in love with it.

Give me the side folder for under $1k and I will be happy.
Wait so is Century arms ak47 the WASR I'm confused by what the WASR is

Then et what was suggested. Even if you only use a shit gun every other range trip, its still a shit gun and it wont be fun. Do not buy an American parted AK.

Cent arms has a couple including the WASR. Theyre pushing the C39 right now which is trash. The WASR is made off a Romanian military parts kit and not a shitty American made one. Get onw of those.

Not exactly; the WASR is made in Romania, shipped in as a single stack and opened up to double stack by Century.
Their C39V2 is ok, but the RAS 47 is an out of battery detonation lawsuit waiting to happen.
the DDI AKs are fine, and the PSA AK is running fine so far, but you can get the WASR or NPAP cheaper than either.
Can you post a link to a reputable website I can buy the WASR and have it sent to my LGS.

Also this thing is great at clearing rooms. When you fire it the concussive blast and large muzzle flash will annoy or scare everyone else in the indoor range to leave.

Clown caliber.[/QUOTE]
Wow, sweetheart grips if your sweetheart was an anime waifu dressed as clown in americana...
So between the two, NPAP and WASR, which should I get? Is the WASR worth the extra $80?
[QUOTE=Levelog;51143204]So between the two, NPAP and WASR, which should I get? Is the WASR worth the extra $80?[/QUOTE]
I'd say it is, because you get a chrome lined barrel and the ability to take regular AK furniture; Yugo AKs have neither.
Cool, definitely going WASR then. But that brings me down to my 3 options, vote now!
Zing: WASR 10
Info: CZ P07 Urban Grey/Suppressor
Useful: CZ EVO Rifle

Next time you want to be a dick you can go fuck yourself first I was still unclear about the whole WASR in general I didn't know if it was a brand or a specific gun or what it was I wanted the link to the specific gun itself.
[highlight](User was banned for this post ("flaming" - GunFox))[/highlight]
Why not an AMD 63 or 65?

Not being a dick man. Youre asking questions that a google search can answer for you. You are on the internet which is the whole worlds cumulative knowledge all on one network. This shits easy to find out.
None of us mind answering your questions but we shouldnt be doing your shopping for you either.
I have a Yugo M70AB2 imported by Century, and it is so nice. I love to just hold it sometimes. The only complaint I have about it is the lack of an optic rail on the side of the receiver. Besides that (and depending on how you feel, the underfolding stock), it's amazing.
I wanna get an underfolder some day.
I don't like underfolders because there is no way to get a comfortable cheek weld on it. Sidefolders are a bit better.
