I like the Arsenal AK’s the best. They just run forever and you seldom hear about problems with them. Having said that, the out-of-production models have gotten really, really expensive. I had two, a Russian SGL-21 in 7.62 and a Bulgarian SLR-104FR in 5.45. Never used the 5.45 rifle so I sold it recently on GB. That thing went over $2400, and that seems to be the going rate for them these days! I guess that tells you what the market thinks of these rifles. Go with Arsenal if you can but be prepared to pay for it.
