So what is the general consensus of the Arsenal Model SGL20-41. Looks to be a quality rifle built on a Saiga. I can get dealer pricing so probably be right around $500.
If you can get one for $500, I would not pass it up. That is a pretty good deal.

EARPLUGS??
I know a guy with a pristine Bulgarian AK 47 he was trying to sell for $450. It's been a few weeks since he decided to sell. I'll call him to see if he still has it.
Thanks Cujo. Now I have the AK itch. Got two AR's, a SIG556, M1A's and now THIS. I'm telling you, it never ends. I ALMOST bought Allans underfolder he sold a few years ago but passed it up. Now I got the itch REAL bad.
I LOVE my Socom 16. It just feels so right.

I'm thinkin bout a Mini 14...what do you think? If not, I've actually been seriously considering an AK myself...and I want nice furniture,no folders.
I like the AR platform better myself but there is nothing wrong with the Mini 14. We have one at the shop with a nice wood stock. I'll check on the price and let you know.
i've been wanting one, but would rather build it than buy onejust waiting for the next build party since i don't have the tools necessary
I've thought of that too, but I'm too darn impatient and hate to wait.
i feel you on the impatience. it would just be pretty awesome to fire a rifle knowing i was the one who put it together. i really wish i could have gotten in on that $250 ak-74 kitstill waiting for a deal that good to come around
Here is a pretty good deal an a G kit.

There are many fine choices in an AK rifle, but you have the opportunity to get a real Russian built gun. They start their life as a Saiga, but can be converted back to original AK configuration with a little time and money. I found it fun to do, and it wasn't that hard.
My Saiga is in .308 Win. and is more than accurate enough for combat usage. I converted it with internals from Dinzag, and OD furniture from K-Var.

I took your advise to heart, and this is what I ended up getting.
An Arsenal SGL-20. Built on a Saiga receiver. I picked it up for a steal. When I figured out what the Saiga would cost and the cost to convert it, I was actually better off letting Arsenal do the work for me. Got it for $500 plus shipping. Should be here Thursday. Also ordered twenty 30 round mags to go with it.
I did, thanks. One of the guys on here said he would send me one.
Good choice. Those were the best deal going when they were $500 (and still aren't a bad deal now), so good job getting it for that price. I got one also for that price (plum), but haven't gotten a chance to shoot it yet.
Twenty mags at one time though, dang. At least you're good to go in that regard now.

I agree. I couldnt turn it down at that price.
Mags to me are like crack. When I bought my Socom 16, I picked up twenty-five 25 round mags. At $24 a pop, it put a dent in my pocket, so AK mags are cheap after that. Dont even get me started on AR mags.
