This is how @Picton wraps up the AR fanbois...well... to be fair, this is a thread that's specifically about different kinds of AKs. So yes, we're talking about how great they are and which country makes what.
And yet? It took until Post #2 for one of the AR fanbois to come in here and shit the thread up, vegan-style. So it's not just AK owners.

Does she? have any?Maura says if you want a AK or AR, you must hate kids.
Gotta love those Hong Kong comedy horrors.Dude. Where'd you get access to my home movies?
Because yup. You're right. I'll be fair to @Ultrarunner too, though, with all the good will in the world: I, too, have been known to pop into AR threads and suggest buying an AK (usually tongue-in-cheek, but still). So he's not entirely wrong.
Kids? NoDoes she? have any?
Ill take it off your hands for $400I sold all my AK's in 7.62x39 and all I have left is my 5.45x39 AK. That I can't find ammo for really.
5.56 is $.50 a round right now. 5.45 is a lot more than that. I don't see the situation getting any better either.
Another problem is when I do find 5.45 and it's not full rape prices I then have to decide if I want it because it's steel core or not, which limits what I can use it for at the range.
It's turned into a pain in the ass. What was once a dirt cheap round is now very expensive and the ammo I can find is either $1 a round and great or under that corrosive steel core that I cant shoot plates with.
I can't imagine picking up that big boy's dodoo! Do you buy super-sized waste bags?Willie was a big boy. 263 pounds.
What's so f***ed up about that, is that his little woman was probably at home with a buncha other durkha durkhas, knitting socks and such, and said to the group, "we should knit some nice AK accessories so that our men have comfortable and stylish rifles while they are out slaughtering innocent people that believe in a different invisible man in the sky. It will also make it easier to find his rifle in the pile when the camel gang bang is over."

The Maadi it is the closest as far as actual function and quality as the russian and I love mine. mine has rosewood thumbhole stockIMO Maadis are way lower on the list. They are a legit military factory made and accurate AKM, but the overall quality, fitment, and finish is notably lower than a Hungarian or Chinese AK. Even the actual Yugo ones (those imported by Zastava and Mitchell, made in Kragujevac).
Man, Hungarians and Chinese guns have WAY WAY WAY better fit n finish than Maadis. Not even a competition. I love Maadis but no way
And Romanian AKs like SARs, etc are lower IMO as well due to similar reasons, Bulgarian and Hungarian guns are way nicer than them in almost every aspect. Yes, avoid US made AKs in general while we have imported options from actual military arms factories of countries who field the AKs.
Not to say the Maadi or Romanian aren't legit and just as reliable, just not as "nice." I'd use them in a military or SHTF application myself.
Whelp it would now seem I’m good to go with AKs. With a recommendation I visited a great FFL in Bridgewater that specializes in AKs. After spending a couple hours going over a lot of thing I ended up buying not one but two AKs.
One is a pre-Ban unfired MAC-90 in the original box. Really nice rifle. The second is a Yugo M-90 in 308. Another awesome rifle. I’m super broke now but it was so worth it.

You could have used a shovel..You landed a cool rifle, but can't afford to feed it. That's like owning Seabiscuit on a dirt farm in Nebraska.
Hey, to each their own. You want Magpul, cool. But OP's looking for recs, and mine is that he stick with proper Communist wood (preferably birch ply from Motherland's sacred forests of north).
The one knock on AKs (and Vz58s, too) is the short length of pull designed for underfed peasants shooting with their feet squared. That's easy to fix by adding some stock length, and I'll grant that the plastic shit makes that easier to do. But? You sacrifice so many Cool Points that it's worth doing it some other way. I found a chunk of walnut in my basement and just made my own, which was simple to do.
Congratulations!!! Good choices. Looking forward to the range report on that M90.Whelp it would now seem I’m good to go with AKs.

Is that actually one of the reasons that the stocks on AK's , SKS's.. etc. are so short ? Other than the squared foot stance I mean,, Small statured people in all of the Russia / Asia area ?The one knock on AKs (and Vz58s, too) is the short length of pull designed for underfed peasants shooting with their feet squared
Nato stock AKs are 1.25 inches longer.Is that actually one of the reasons that the stocks on AK's , SKS's.. etc. are so short ? Other than the squared foot stance I mean,, Small statured people in all of the Russia / Asia area ?

Not mine but theres a nice Norinco stock on GB ending today it was around $190 last I looked. Im not sure how much cheaper you would find one. If you searchGood choices, good dealer. You went to the right place.
Now get that thumbhole offa that Mak90 and put some proper wood on it!
Galil ace gen 2... end of story
Ace Gen 1 16" in 7.62x39 or Gen 2 13" in 7.62x39?
Maybe get a Pakistani family that used to work in the back alley AK factories they have over there. Instead of the family making meals, like the do-gooder who took in the Haitian families, you can get a good AK manufactured.Guns bad.
No grandfathering.
Take in immigrant family, feel better about your positive impact.
