[QUOTE="dak, post: 942692, member: 5163"] In 5.45 for Russian the options would pretty much be an unconverted Saiga or an Arsenal SGL-31. Romanians theres 5.45 SARs and WASRs as well as the semi-recent import of AIMS-74 kits. For Bulgarian kit guns it's pretty much down to who built them because if it's a circle 10 kit it will be the same quality for the most part. The Bulgy TGI "truck gun" is made by the same factory that made the SSR85 I think, I'd go with circle 10 over that just based on that fact. The Lancaster AK74 will have a US made barrel that's not chrome lined, something to keep in mind if you're going to be shooting a lot of that cheap corrosive milsurp ammo. Quality wise of parts, Russian versus Bulgarian will be about the same but the Saiga/SGL-31 might have a few more machine marks on certain things but those will still be factory built AKs though. The Romy AIMS-74 is pretty good too, those can get fairly pricey though. If you're wanting to go cheap at ~$450 then look for a nice Romy SAR-2 or grab one of those Lancasters. If you're thinking about that $650 In Range build then I'd say consider the SGL-31 too. [/QUOTE]
