looking to buy a well built AK. Noticed that Arsenal offers an Saiga SGL21 and an SGL20. Did some research and couldn't find any difference between the two other then the price. Does anyone happen to know what is different about the two?

The SGL-21 has a rolled edge on the receiver cover and the 20 does not. The 21 is actually a little closer to Russian Milspec than the 20. Most people would never notice.  Also the SGL20 has a bayonet lug and does NOT have an accessory lug. The SGL21 has both the bayonet lug and the accessory lug. (Other than this, they are similar).
