Ak47.

[noob2013]

Thinking of getting AK47 with 7.62X39. As you can see from my count, you can figure I'm new to this forum. FYI, I'm also pretty new to shooting.

So I'm here seeking advise on which kinds of AK47 to get.

Thanks!

An AK is a good noob rifle! How much do you have to spend?

Oh, and welcome to OSA.

What is your price range?

I've had a WASR, a Polish underfolder, an I.O. (stay away from this company) and a number of Arsenal's. Out of all of them, the Arsenal AK's were by far the best.

Noobie mistake ... sorry. price range around 500 - 1000, preferably near the lower end

Looks like 2k range for Arsenal?

I think you would be hard pressed to find a better example of the type 56 than a mak 90. Smoothest, best shooting ak copy i have ever shot. Spend another 80 bucks to make it 922r compliant, and you will have shooter.

Welcome to the board. I have the AK's little brother, an SKS. Same caliber and lots of fun to shoot.

Check out atlantic arms - they have a wide selection of AK pattern rifles. Feel free to pm any specific questions.

Also take yourself down to H&H and rent one to shoot. They have several.

You can get an Arsenal under $1k. Just look on gunbroker.com. I just checked and found a nice folder for under $1k. Of course they are closer to the top of your range.
