Ok guys I need an AK

[redneck]

What AK should I buy. No wood and a folding stock
I like the yugo m70 is that a good one?

The M70 is my favorite AK. It has a good heavy and solid feel to it. It has thicker receiver walls and slightly larger proportions. I love the way they fit. Most are new builds too. Just be careful with corrosive ammo since it's not chrome lined. Also, as long as you stay away from the fixed wooden stick your cheek-weld should be fine, that stock has the most ridiculous hump that makes it nearly impossible to shoot with irons. The AB2 is the factory underfolder version, and any fixed stock can be changed for a side folder. Overall, a solid choice IMO.

Dan do any have a receiver like an AR instead of stamped metal?

 

[Dan1612]

IIRC, it's 1.5mm stamped metal. 50% thicker than most.

That is the stupidest stock EVER placed on a rifle of any kind. Fortunately, that price leaves you room to replace the stupid thing.

If you can stretch your budget a bit, the Centurion does 1moa with a decent optic and is on an American-made milled receiver, but you'll have to replace the furniture as well, and I don't think anyone makes a folder for it.

Precisely, but the stock is fixed, feels like hollow tupperware and the forearm is made of some nasty soft polymer. Good replacements exist for both but none I know of are folders.

Thanks, what is the best price you have seen for them?

 

[Dan1612]

$700 new, I think I sold mine for $600 though.

 

[FrankT]

Can you buy another so I can buy it from you?

 

[Dan1612]

Lol, nah. I'm stocking up on ARs right now, just built one today.
You should be able to find a used C63 for around $650 on GunBroker though.

I love me a good AK, the purist in me says it has to be wood furniture and doesn't really have to be pretty. Just shoot straight. I can get a pretty good group at 100 yards with my MAADI's.

Nice Dan.
