These days there are AK's in 5.45, 5.56, 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, 7.62x51 (Nato) available. Some of the 5.45 AKs are surprisingly accurate rifles.
I would keep an open mind, and figure out what I was hoping to do with my rifle, and then talk to Mike and Forrest, tell them what you want to do, and go with their recommendations. They have done well by me.
