Current state of the AK

[S.W.]

Anyone have any experience with DDI AK's specifically the under folder? Seeing them for $800.

If you have a choice, don't go with a underfolder. I used to think it was okay (used to own a polish underfolder) when it was my only rifle. After shooting a real stock again, I have no idea how I dealt with it.

Underfolding AKs are very cool looking. But they kind of suck to shoot for an extended period. If you want one, get a true Yugo.

Thanks for the warning, I guess I'll look for a sidefolder instead.

I'm in complete agrement with the above comments about the underfolders. The Romanian side folder stocks arent as nice to shoot as the full stock guns, but are much better than the underfolders. They are also easily convertible, the Romanian side folder stocks will go on nearly any standard stocked stamped AK. In other words, buy the gun you want and you can buy a wire sidefolder and put on it. Some of the Hungarian or Yugo guns may not accept the wire sidefolders.

Whatever you do, don't get an AMD-65. Those have the worst stocks known to man.

I'm very pleased with the folder on my SLR-107CR. Locks up like a fixed stock.

I wanted to bump this to see if anything had changed in the last 8 months.

My AKs are all Arsenals and in 7.62. Is there any reason for a US civilian to get a 5.45x39 ?

Given that all of the cheap 5.45x39 is dried up thanks to BATFE and the dunderheads who made a 5.45x39 pistol, I wouldn't think so, no.
