I say go for the Saiga. You won't regret it. Plus the GP Wasr10 they're selling is a single stack mag. You may not care, but some shooters do.

I'll be damned. I wish I would have known that a few years ago when I swaped out the vented one on my Mak for a non vented one when I was changing the furniture. It only has about 500 rounds through it with that gas tube, but it has run great. Can I assume that I am wearing out my rifle faster since it cannot vent the extra gas when it cycles?

I have a variant of the AK, as well as an SKS. In the thousands of personally-fired rounds, they have all been steel-cased, Eastern Bloc ammo. No failures. These guns are made for that ammo. I've also never heard of them having issues with the ammo that was designed for them, and I know a lot of guys that shoot them regularly. One thing to keep in mind is some ranges might not allow that ammo, as most of it also has bullets with steel in them.
