I don't mind the more plastic on it and the cross bolt safety

I just need to save up for a decent AR, AK prices are stupid now

like WASR 10s are well over 600 now

Yeah, I actually have a WASR that was given to me as a gift some years ago but I really want to build my own AR for around 500 bucks.

some people are selling them for 750 plus, like seriously you have jankily milled out receivers with mag wobble alot for so much when you can make a good AR for a company like PSA for around 400-500

Yeah, the WASR 10's are far from ideal as far as AK's go.

yeah I am happy AR prices dropped but I just wish AKs were better priced

yugo N PAPS and O PAPS are a good alternative along with VZ 58s even thought they are not really an AK

I'd LOVE a Saiga..

I remember around 2013 VZ58s were priced around 400 for one with 2 mags and mag pouch and cleaning kit but they probably dried up

Like an Arsenal SGL.

So sexy.

did they ever drop the russian weaspon import ban

No, I don't believe so.

Unfortunately... :<

I remember dudes seeling saiga and other russian made weapons on armslist for way too much when it was announced

yeah arsenal seems like the premier brand for AKs

Yeah, that definitely doesn't surprise me. And I love Armslist. I've found some great handguns on there that were priced really well.

Oh yeah, Arsenal is top-notch.

my question is all the AKs in the world how is it that every goat herder in developing nations has one but most of them are out of price range for the poor here

I guess regulations and such

Yeah, that's definitely an issue. There are far more beneficiaries of Eastern Bloc surplus in the third world.

I'd like to get my hands on a Mosin for around 150 bucks. Lately they've been going for 250-300 around here.

I was thinking of joining the DSA despite them being revisionists but I think they are the only leftist org that really meets in my smallish city

You might actually find some revolutionary socialists there despite their official line.

yeah I shot one with my friends but my friend got one when he was young around 07 I think for 80 bucks or something crazy cheap

I've heard of revolutionary socialists within their ranks.

@quiscalus 80 bucks is an absolute steal.

What state do you live in?

WA

came here 2 years ago from Austin Texas couldn't afford to find a place to live there anymore

these are what my friend has

shit sorry about the photo flood

If I'm not mistaken, the "Freedom Socialist Party" is active in WA, as well as a branch of the "SPUSA". Both of which would be a far better option.

AR, Springfield xd compact 9mm, springfield 1911, built AR, mosin, lee enfield, bushmaster "assualt rifle" weird early model from the 70s.
