I know I might get some bashing for this but I must say both rifles are equally accurate, the build quality of both seem pretty close, although the russian 100 series is just awesome, but there is something about the crudeness of the Romanian AK that I just love. Both rifles have many thousand rounds through them. One thing I do like about AKM over Ak100 series are the availability of spare parts. So if you have a bolt break in your Saiga or my Saiga we are pretty much screwed. Man I hope the sanctions are lifted off Ruissia so we can keep getting Russian Aks because Kalashnikov USA is a joke
