[QUOTE="BrandonMF, post: 2732744, member: 13086"] I've had five AKs. First was my SAR-2 AK-74. Good gun, my first semi-auto, and I'll keep it until I die just to have it. That thing got the treatment from collectible to tacticool and back again. Next, my Saiga conversion AK-74. It was a nice conversion, looked great, functioned perfect. I miss being able to hold it up and be like, "No dude I turned this gun into this from a funky looking pile of junk!" Wish I'd kept it but wanted an AR more. Bought a SAR-1 AK-47 clone for $400. Great little gun but the trunnion was canted inside the receiver and made it impossible to zero. Worst AK I ever had. Next was my SLR-107. Bought it as my Post-Sandy Hook panic buy. It was prolly one of the worst AKs ever. I mean, it was good...it was cool. Fit and Finish was perfect. But....it wouldn't zero (I think this was 'cause of the ultimak but I had it on every other AK I'd ever owned without a problem so I personally doubt it), the trigger was godawful, recoil and concussion with the bare muzzle was stout...just not my favorite rifle. Last was my MAK-90. NOW THAT was the best AK-47 type rifle I ever had. Mine was a welded on barrel nut and a ground off barrel lug away from being a Polytech Legend and was actually stamped so on the receiver, and then that was overstamped with MAK-90 but still plain as day underneath. Best trigger of ANY rifle I had until I bought the Geiselle. Accurate as hell. Reliable. Stout and kicked like a mule. Seriously, my PTR-91 left me hurting less than that AK-47 after a string of fire! Sold it off when I got out of the AK game entirely. So in order of awesome... 1) MAK-90 2) SAR-2 3) Saiga 4) Arsenal 5) SAR-1. Seriously, look the romanian guns over, that was an expensive lesson. If I ever get another AK, it's going to be in 5.56, but just 'cause they banned 'em in 5.45. [/QUOTE]
