Hey /k/.
I know you guys get this kind of threat a lot, but fuck it. I'm looking for a gun in 7.62x39 right now, and I'm torn between the SKS or an AK variant. If I decide to go with the SKS, I'm debating between a Tula or a Norinco. I'm not as knowledgeable with AK's, I just know not to buy IO, Century or RAS47. I'm looking into perhaps a MAK90, an M92, M70 or perhaps a DDI. My price range is about 1,000. Any tips/suggestions?
Pic unrelated.
Also, wondering if this rifle is any good

get an ak, its only a little bit more and you'll have that reliable magazine fed system. A hungarian amd 65 is around $600. Also money left over goes to buy mags and ammo. wasrs are good too.
I have an SKS and an AK (though the AK is in 5.45).
I'd recommend the AK. And a Tula SKS is expensive anyway.

By "expensive" I mean like $600. But the days of $75 SKSs or even $300 SKSs are behind us, unfortunately. :(

The AMD-63 is still 500 dollars on Classic Firearms.
Even if the barrel is soft, for the amount you're probably going to shoot it, it might not be a war rifle, but it will probably do you good.

Get an AK. SKS isn't on the chopping block for November the way an AK is.
>>31562122
SKS is banned by name in at least one shitty place. I don't remember where.
>>31562066
hory shet, long time no see old man.
I've never heard of the amd barrel being soft, can you tell me more?
>>31561794
How dare you raise your fist at me. I going to beat your ass, dumpf

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What's up?
>>31562152
Google says apparently the AMD65 kits on ClassicArms are made with shit steel.

The older ones were probably better the feg receiver ones. I got one from several years back but it looks like there's newer ones that don't look as good.
>>31562226
same shit, new year.
got fired from my job, quit the trade, going to school now. no new guns in over a year now.
*the feg ones (the old ones) were good*.
I don't know if that's going on with them now days.

vz.58.
DDI is junk
How are veprs in x39? I know about the bullet guide install to use standard ak mags.
OP Here.
Alright, you've convinced me on the AK. Are Yugos any good? 556 Arsenals? Mak90s? I'm sure I'm missing a few.
I would maybe go with a zastava yugo
$650. and I would go with a full wood stock.
but there are plenty of other good choices.

This. More accurate than an AK, just as reliable. Only downside is the aftermarket.
