  1. Something to tote my guns around in. 2016 4X4, 2.7 EcoBoost Twin Turbo, 325 HP, all aluminum corrosion proofed body. It's the first brand new truck I've ever bought. And, it's got the most beautiful green/gray/black color shifting factory paint I've ever seen on a new vehicle.

    Nice. Supposedly the 2.7s are inexplicably a little quicker off the line than the 3.5s.

  2. $900 and you're getting into Bulgarian Arsenal with factory side folder (and all the bells and whistles) territory.

     

    Yugos have too many proprietary parts. They're the oddball of the AK family. Wouldn't be my choice unless I just needed to round off the AK collection for some reason.

     

    Can't believe no one has suggested this yet but get yourself a Vepr they are right in your price range right now (all calibers available, 5.45, 5.56, 6.5Grendal, 7.62x39, .308, 54r ). There is no better built higher quality AK on the market right now at the price range. Sure they come in as sporters like Saigas did but it doesn't take much to turn them around and the starting point is leaps and bounds ahead of a Saiga.

    Edit; Sucky part about the Vepr is the slant cut receiver.

    What besides the furniture is proprietary? I thought the guts in N-PAPs were AKM parts. 

     

    I was thinking the same thing about the Arsenal side-folders but I took a look and I'll be damned if I can find a 107 for under $1300, if you can even find one.

  3. Both will serve you well, and the differences are functionally pretty insignificant. Biggest things I can think of off the top of my head are that Yugos are much nicer aesthetically and WASR will have a chrome-lined bore. WASR will also take standard stamped-receiver AK handguards if you care about changing the furniture at some point. If it were me and I was planning on leaving it alone I'd just go for the M70.
