    Best Ak for under $600????

    I'm looking for an AK type rifle and I was wondering what everyone's opinion was? I'd like to keep the budget to under $600 OTD if at all possible. Please let me know your opinions, thoughts, etc... Have been seriously considering the I.O. Inc CASAR and have looked at WASR-10's, but prefer the synthetic to wood (call me weird). Any other options? If you have any opinions, insights, info, etc... please let me know thank you.

    Saiga converted with $100 for ammo.. That is if you have basic mechanical skills and a few tools..

              I'm not a big fan of converting Saigas though. Just build one from the parts kit of your choice.

                Best AK for under $600

                is 2 aks for that price. You can build yourself an AMD pistol if you want with a fixed stock romy g for about $600.

                or

                build an ak and with the rest buy mags with 1K of ammo

                    Another vote for the Saiga-762.
                    It's made by the same people that makes AKs for the Russian military.

                        Why so many Saiga suggestions? Don't get me wrong, I love converting Saigas, I currently have three of them, but for a guy looking for a $600 AK, Saiga would be the last thing I'd suggest.

                          Converted saiga as it is a real Russian AK. Followed by a AK you built yourself.

                            What's wrong with a converted Saiga?

                              WASR if you can hand pick or Yugo if you find one cheap. I would also pass on a converted Saiga. He wanted an AK pattern...Read his question.

                              Removing handguards and stock stock is cheap...Do not have those limit your decision.
