Note, I shot this weapon at PSC last weekend, it is about to replace my favorite SKS's and AK47's as my favorite. It's like popcorn compared to 7.62x39, and dead on accurate with great groupings. Recoil and accuracy similar to .223/5.56 at +- 100 yards, I love this rifle. And....very accurate with iron sights from factory.

5.45x39mm was the Russian replacement for 7.62x39mm back in the seventies.

Arguable point, but many say this was the soviet attempt to counter the .223/5.56 round. But this ammo is dirt cheap, and plentiful. Aimsruplus currently has it around 12 cents a round shipped if you buy 2 cans.

Recit, as I understand, these are Novak Spuds.

Call me crazy, but I always thought the ak was a great looking weapon.

Be careful! That fellow up north did time I think when a borrowed AR had a slamfire! Anyone recall that story?

Yep, was referring to centerfire. The first gun show I ever went to was in the winter of 2003. I snagged a 1280 round sealed tim of yugo 7.62 brass for 80 something. Those were the days.

Never shot a 5.45x39, but I hear its got the recoil of a .223, and alot more flat shooting than the 7.62. Is that about right?

Agreed! I had bought 4320 rounds before ever buying a rifle. Now up to 12k+.

I paid $599 for the last Bulgarian I bought and almost $500 for my Polish Tantal.

So this new, low price is a GREAT deal!!

It's a close 2nd. First prize goes to 7.62x25, at roughly 9 cents a round. Shipped, this 5.45 is costing me 12 cents a round at aim

I may add some russian glass, but that's about it. Love the muzzle looks on it. I typically prefer some wood furniture, but I think I'll keep the composite right now.

They are going in and out of stock every 10 days. The first batch, 300, sold out in hours. Get on the backorder and they will get you one pretty quickly.

AK-74. Bulgarian ND-2 I believe. At 350.00 shipped free with 2 mags, and arrived in like brand new condition. Extra mags are 9.99 and ship free with the gun.
This gun is really nice, and includes a scope mount on the side of the reciever, not mentioned in the ad.
