I have an AK74 and it is great fun and accurate , It is not as accurate as my AR platform Grendel by any means but battle ready all the same . SHTF and My HP will be on my hip ,AK74 in my hands and Grendel on my shoulder, Wife will have to carry the ammo in my ruck sack !I haven't really kept up with them at all price wise, darn.I haven't shot too many AKs as always being an AR guy. I see them on Armslist like the PSA GF3 used for around $500-600ish I got a little work bonus and wanted to try one out.
