Agreed but, we have ARs soon to be $450 and Cheap Glock (hi point) $150.Labor is a lot cheaper in other countries.
I'd say you guessed right. With AR parts, we don't have to worry about import restrictions like we do with AKs and domestic production just has not caught up. I think the Glock v.

What's preventing reasonable AK prices? I'd guess demand over labor. Open up the borders and watch the prices fall.
Ok school me a bit. I though the AK platform was cheap, easy to produce and reliable. That's why it's one of, if not the most copied military rifles on the planet.

I don't forsee myself in a zombie apocalypse scrounging for rifle ammo. I would like it as a range toy and it would be cool to take a deer with AK irons. I don't want Junk but, an AK never presented itself to be the Rolls Royce of military rifles.
