Been doing a lot of research on AK's lately and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Tons of people say, ''Go with Arsenal, they're the best''... Price I'm not too concerned with, though I'd like to keep it under a grand. My problem with Arsenal is the numerous reports of poor quality...

What qualifies as a "good" AK47? I understand stuff like the Bulgarian SLR95 has a good rep, so do converted saigas. But how much does a "good" stock (as in no modifications )AK47 cost? Its easy enough to find the 300-500 dollar ones, but i've heard you can find better ones which edge closer...

Here is my Arsenal SLR 107CR special Edtion. It is a 7.62x39. The sling is a VTAC from Viking Tactics, I have Tapco and Clear Bulgarian mags for it. I am going to put some night sites and i should be good to go.

Getting the hang of my new camera. Using my Bulgarian Makarov as a model to experiment with creative backlighting for dramatic shadowy effects.
