Could I please get some help on buying my first AK?
What do I call them? I feel like a COD babby when I say it.
Are there any good rifles for $500?

Save up and get something mid-range. SLR, Saiga, whatever.
>AK47
>$500
lol good luck.
>>31482707
> $500
Build an AR.
>>31482737
SLR is the GoatOfAllTime.
> $500
This isn't 2010 man.... even if you get one for $500 (most likely from a private sale) what about ammo, accessories, and etc? Easily an extra $200-400, just get a cheap plinker or an sks (going up in price so expect $300-400) and ammo and wait until you're out of your mom's house and have a decent job/ on your own.

I've already got a sks, and a mosin.
I want the Soviet triplet
RAS-47. Check it out.

My cousin has 3 AK's, and days this one is by far his favorite and easily the most accurate of the three.

what makes a RAS-47 better than an N-PAP?
>>31483101
nothing. It's much worse in literally every way.

If you're dead set on the $500 range, the AMD-63 from classic firearms is your best bet. It's a bastardization of the AKM-63 and the AMD-65, but it's not terrible. I'd save up for a Saiga, Arsenal, or VEPR though.
>>31482707
yes there are actually https://www.classicfirearms.com/amd-63-7-62x39-rifle-with-solid-stock-phoenix-stock-type2
you're welcome anon

OP stay the fuck away from REEEE 47's
>>31482707
avoid ras47 and I.O. at all costs
Hoard your shekels and at least get a WASR
>>31482707
Not for 500$ the price is way jacked on AKs in general. Basically most of the rifles are not worth what the price is these days. Either save up or buy an AR.

Can't believe they still have amd-65s for only $100 more than what I paid for one 5 years ago from sent e-file systems. Mine had held up well.
>>31483810
Okay, I really *really* want that now. But poorstudentfag.
>>31483810
Not a real AK. May as well build an AR at that point.

>not a real AK
Nigga it's an AKM with non standard furniture, and there are a billion forums and videos out there on how to make it look identical to an AKM.
>>31484440
same, but I'm saving my shekles for a DDI underfolder
>>31483544
>>31483810
Is this model recommended over the amd 65 they make? I see they're both 500
>>31486912
Wire stocks are fucking pooty man. You might as well get an AK pistol at that point.
>>31487434
Thank you for the information my friend. I have corrected myself and on the path of enlightenment that is a decent AK for 500
>>31483810
NEWSFLASH: THIS GUN WAS 399$ WHEN ALL DECENT AKS WERE 600-700.
IT WAS 449$ NOT EVEN A YEAR AGO.
499$ IS NOT A GOOD DEAL FOR A SHITTY GUN.
Yes, it shoots, but it is a microstrip above an IO or RAS.
