Cheaper to buy in bulk and from forums and marketplaces as long as the seller has a good reputation. Can still be had for 40-45c per round that way. The shipping and/or tax stacks on if you buy it from online shops, and locally it's always overpriced. I love my 7.62x39 ak's though, cheapest 5.56 ak that's worth getting is probably 1200-1500 too, an m90, beryl, or galil.. Wbp barrel is nitrided and 5.56 is high pressure, and heard of firing pin issues. Would not consider a psa 5.56 for anything, lol..
