A super fun little gun to shoot in the desert. Reliable as expected. Great addition to the collection. The furniture was a bit plain so I refinished it with a mahogany stain and many layers of clear gloss and it looks amazing now.

Great little gun. Lots of fun had with this. Definitely turns heads at the range.

shoots great....awesome little gun....took the hardwood fur nature off and added aftermarket aluminum hand guards w/rails......mine is not the mod2 and comes w/a proprietary mag.....not like the newer mods that will take standard M4 mags..........huge bummer. mags, are at best, hard to find...... tapped the rear sight and put on a red dot.....another advantage over some competitors..... excellent firearm.....well worth the money......downgrading to 4* due to mag incompatibility/unavailability issues...

One of the most fun guns I have in my collection. Eats anything you feed it. I love that it's chambered in 223 Rem because I can use the same ammo as my AR. As usual, Bud's was awesome! Have purchased many guns from Bud's and have yet to be disappointed.

Excellent firearm! Bud Rocks!

Weapon is a five! It is in a plain cardboard box not even a Logo,No lock. Thank you

Bought two. Had to steam out some dings, sand, and finish the forends as they were unfinished. Used tung oil for that. Needed a brass punch to move the lever for the lower handguard on both as the retaining cut is at an angle and slightly too far back, which was quickly resolved with a round file. One had some scratches on the finish due to the cleaning rod bouncing around during shipment. The rod itself was bent in three places and was trash. One needed the top cover straightened as it was torqued. Both top covers needed the front rivet for the hinge filed as they were hitting the bolt carrier. They are all flat on my original parts kit. Both front sight gas blocks are off a little to the right and I will straighten later as I have done for a friend so I knew this going in. Sights are adjusted on, but my OCD doesn't like that. Upon cutting the weld and removing the thread protector, I found that the protector was rusted badly, but only the finish was marred on the gas block. SBR paperwork is back. Now waiting on getting them engraved so I can put a folding stock on both after adding Hogue grips, G2 internals, and US krink brake for 922r compliance. Far cheaper than buying a kit and rolling your own even if you have all the tools like I do. The raised area around the firing pin hole on the bolt face will trash your brass. It is intended to prevent primers from backing out on commercial ammo. Oh, and the included mag is junk. Buy original mags from Bud's. They actually work.

For the money, a fun firearm. The sights are awful, but you don't buy a piece like this for marksmanship anyway, right? Loud as hell, reasonably accurate. Plan on giving it a real good cleaning and oiling before you go to the range.

One of the best AKs ever made. Super well built, very accurate, zero recoil and the trigger is great. Everyone that's shot mine was super impressed. While a little heavy it has build quality not found in other AKs. The barrel and chamber are chromelined and 1/7 twist. I shot some 77gr OTM through the gun and had astounding accuracy. Running the gun quickly is simple, it's a point and click affair. The muzzle stays very steady and flat without the need for a compensator. Buds also has mags for $17,99. Speaking of which these maybe the strongest mags I've ever seen. Stronger than G3 steel mags, with a little care they will last a lifetime.

Bought this last December and love it. This gun fired any ammo I put through it with no problems at all. I used the cheap plastic magazine it came with and aftermarket steel magazines with no issues there either. I put an SB47 arm brace on it as well. This gun shoots very smooth.
