This is about what it takes (below) to convert a $495 Saiga sporter rifle in order to resemble a out of the box $495 WASR-10. Remember, the moment you begin the Saiga conversion its warranty is voided. On the otherhand the WASR-10 needs no conversion and it comes with a 1-year warranty. I'm not touting the virtues of either rifle, only "the evil features" that we've all come to expect and love on our rifles.

Jeez. Why not just buy a used Arsenal at that point?

They will always be a 350 dollar rifle to me

$499 is a good price for a Saiga. Russian AK = Quality

They are fairly easy and fun to convert. CHF Russian barrel. Not only do you end up with a first class AK, you have the satisfaction of knowing you did it your self. You can learn about installing a bullet guide, threading a barrel or putting on a threaded front site and learn about the internals.

OR

Buy 'em and stack 'em for the Apocalypse. Probably better and easier to barter with than silver.

YMMV

Or spend about $200 and get this:

A new Russian AK with new chrome lined CHF russian barrel. Not knocking the WASR, but not in the same class. Oh, did I forget to mention magwell dimples? Also, the satisfaction of doing the conversion. Also, 922r compliant.
