I.O AK pistol. Good or Bad

Older surplus m70s are solid. It's the newer zastava stuff that's garbage. If you have an m70ab2, they're good... zpaps are trash

Mine is an M70AB2 . I really dig it but as I said earlier it's heavy for what it is. I dig the look of the under folder but they don't balance or shoulder that well. I just jumped on the trade when it was offered because I still remember the 89 AWB when prices went through the roof and I thought I'd never own one. I guess it's mostly just for looking cool like the Mossberg Shockwave sitting next to it. Cause God knows that thing SUCKS to shoot.

How are any of you AK experts supposed to be taken seriously when not even one of you brought up Spring Fed ponds? It's widely known...

Okay clearly not an expert over here and I'm lost as far as this comment.

There is a true expert of the AK here, on ODT. He helped many of us realize that you can't really talk about the quality of an AK if you don't have a Spring Fed lake to torture it in. I know, it sounds weird, right? Well, so did the AK expert.

I have a bath tub I can fill with spring soap? That’s close enough right?

When you mention Maadi it makes me feel old and pissed off. By that I mean they used to be cheap and plentiful like Chinese guns. So it's really hard for me to see either one now and believe the prices they're listed for.
I had a Mak 90 back in 94 that I think I got for around $300.00 . First thing I did was replace the furniture with original Chinese wood. But everyone still scoffed at it and acted like it was a fake AK or something like that. NOW...those neutered Chinese rifles bring stupid ass money. And what was so great about them aside from the 1.5mm receiver? Again I'll say it's a lot like a $600.00 SKS. Just plain not worth it.
Admittedly I have zero experience with Maadi rifles. Mishaco seems to speak highly of them. And he IS the Blind AK Expert. Maybe I just have a problem with their country of origin. I think if I could have any AK now I would want an AMD65 or even an unconverted Saiga.

I just want to find a Russian parts kit lol
Let’s not forget what every AK wishes it was.
The great VZ-58

Let's not forget the old Iraqvet8888 meltdown of a WASR way back when. It didn't make it nearly as far as I hoped it would. I wanna say in the 600 round range. Granted it was a full auto conversion and it wasn't intended to run that hard. The barrel drooped fairly early in the test and made the gas tube/piston inoperable.
However... them good Redneck types "Fixed it" with a trailer hitch and a pine tree and got it running again. So I really can't talk down the WASR rifles in any category except maybe price.

Well you just made me feel old bringing up Iraqvet.
When it comes to Romanian rifles I like the full length Draco’s.
Great sbr candidates
