Are AK 74's worth looking into? How available is the ammo nowadays?

I jumped in back in the day. Polish Tantal and an AR15 in 5.45x39. But back in the day you could get 1080 rds of Russian surplus for $85...And then Olympic Arms marketed a 5.45x39 pistol and BOOM - you couldn't import the surplus ammo any more...

Now the ammo - which is plentiful - just got a case this week - it just costs more than .223.

But the '74 is so sweet to shoot compared to the '47.
