nimbus 4 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi... I'm trying not to buy any more guns, but lately I've been looking at a lot of AK 47's and it is getting tough to resist. After the Saiga 12, and Draco "pistol" purchases, and modding the S12, I'm really sold on the AK platform... Can you guys please advise me on these two gun options I'm considering: 1. http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct765.aspx and, 2. http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/storeproduct446.aspx ----- Any thoughts on these? Should I spend more and get something different? Obviously, they're pretty different animals, with coolness factors coming in different forms. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob-cubed 74 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 The top one is your standard Romanian WASR. The Hungarian FEGs I've seen are usually a little better quality, but I've never liked the wire folders. My WASR has done me fine but they do tend to be a little rough around the edges, especially the furniture which needs a good coat of stain and sealant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YEL13 3 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 I've never had any experience on the AMD Hungarian builds, BUT I do really like the look of them, especially the lower handguard, but that seems to be a point of contention with others; seems like its either ya love it or hate it sorta things Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmzzl 146 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Ive had both. I prefer the WASR. The AMD has the cool factor, but you don't get a good cheek weld, and its excessively loud because of the brake. I got rid of my AMD, still got the WASR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
volkov 318 Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) Also it can be a pain to load due to the front handguard.. One reason people like to use 20 rders with em the AMD is a gun that most people don't really like over a standard ak, though there's always gonna be people who love them and if your one of them, more power to you. edit: and most people would probably recommend you spend more and go for something else. I like my WASR fine, but the sight blocks came canted, the stock trigger sucks, but I got it for 300 so I'm happy. It won't let you down, but it may need some work to get to a point where the irons function (the guy who owned mine before me never hit paper). Also mine has a retarded oversized side mount for some reason that NOTHING fits on.. I'm gonna need to do some work on that. Edited April 7, 2011 by volkov Quote Link to post Share on other sites
