I'm thinking about getting into the wonderful world of AKs and wondering if people can offer opinions on either of the AKs currently for sale on Classic Firearms. I searched the forum but most of the stuff that came up was either buying intel or posts saying that CF was a great place to buy from - but not specific info on their guns.

Here are the two:

http://www.classicfirearms.com/long-guns/romanian-ak-7-62-x-39 - Romanian AK-47 Rifle w/ Wood Stock and Wood Forearm, 45 Degree Compensator, Bayonet Lug
http://www.classicfirearms.com/long-guns/yugom70ab2 - Yugo M70 AB2 Underfold AK-47 Rifle - 7.62x39 caliber
So I guess my questions are - Are these decent quality - I"m not looking for anything fancy pants and are the prices decent (not way outrageous vs pre panic)?

Those were probably $499 and $599, respectively, pre-panic, vs $799 and $899. So about 60% more.

Quality is likely to be fine, but higher on the M70 than the wasr.

I've purchased from them before. An AK is pretty much an AK... and yeah, the Romanian is most likely a WASR.

Get the yugo and don't look back... $899 for a yugo is not that bad. $799 for the romy is insane in my opinion.

They yugos made FAR better AKs than the romanians could ever think of doing.. I often call the yugos the "Cadillac of AKs"

Also those AKs that they are offering are most likely Century build or imports/conversions. Century made excellent yugos. Their Romanians had some problems from time to time... Like I said... Get the Yugo.

Seeing a scope on an AK makes me LOL! I have a Norinco (it's for sale but for a grand more than that one!) which is far better than those and I swear the bullets exit the barrel at a 45 degree angle!! However, you'll end up paying double that or more for a Norinco or other decent Bavarian ones.

Thanks for all the info guys. I wouldn't be putting a scope on an AK.

I agree on the Yugo/ wasr thing but underfolders suck to shoot much

Here is a fixed stock yugo. I'd get this one. They are NICE!
