[QUOTE="redmax51, post: 1727101, member: 363"] This is true,WASR's get a bad rap.Check what he says if you look at one Milled is unnecessary weight and mostly for collectors,chrome lined barrels are disappearing since the ATF is requiring the kits that so many are assembled from have the barrel cut in half.Nothing wrong with a US barrel(what many builders are using) that isn't c/lined.This seems to be important to people because of the corrosive ammo on the market.The dreaded "corrosive" ammo is actually not that common in 7.62x39 but fairly common in 5.45.It is mildly corrosive with the primers being the culprit.I've seen tests where a rifle was fired several hundred rounds of corrosive ammo and allowed to sit for a month and only very light rust appeared.Just clean the thing and you'll be fine or only shoot non-corrosive ammo.In AK's it is generally that for a production rifle,the Arsenals are the best.The top rifles are kit builds by Jim Fuller,Elk River,etc.They can run as high as $1600+.
