I think the best AK/AKM buy is the brand new Russian izmash saiga in 223 and 308win. Hands down. The 308 saiga 16" barrel using south African 308 ball ammo will constantly shoot 1 1/2" groups at 100yds. I benchrested three of them right out of the box. The saiga is manufactured and assembled in the same building as the Russian ak47.
