Wasr 10 is a good one for the money, around my parts they are going for around $400 __________________

I was thinking about those but I heard bad and good reviews so I'm confused | |

Canted front sights are the most common problem. Hand picking it solves that problem. | |

It would probably help if you familiarized yourself
with your friend's AKs first, so you
will know what to look for. They
are not a complicated gun. |

Wow, that's tempting! And right now converted Saigas are on sale for $450, just a little more than a WASR. If I were buying new today I'd go with this deal but I've had my WASR five years and trust it.

My nephew bought a WASR from them and has been very happy with it. No reported problems.
I've been wondering about the reviews for the Century version of a VZ-58 (not really an "AK"). __________________

Q, $450 is a great deal.
I was going to get a VZ-58 but passed it up to later read they are awesome, light and perfectly balanced. I'm not sure about the CIA version but who knows. I still want to try one out. | |

Yeah, $450 is a great deal on a modded Saiga and it won't last long. Very tempting to get a 5.45x39 since I already have the 7.62x39.
But right now I think I'll go with a LE trade-in S&W 5906, they're pretty cheap right now. And a darn good US made 9mm. __________________
