Hah Spiker, legend.

Hey Mouser,
Not sure if you are aware, but the Saigas are genuine AK's (just sporterised versions) made in the Izhmash factory in Russia (if I'm not mistaken). One of them will set you back about $800

The Norinco's are obviously Chinese but they have a thicker receiver (again if I'm not mistaken) etc and are built like a tank (so even more rugged than your average run of the mill eastern bloc knockoffs). I've shot a few of them now. The wooden handled one was crap, it's not even shaped for a human hand, but the Dragunov stocked ones I got to shoot seemed to have a fantastic light trigger and were just a hell of a lot of fun. These are a tad more, I think about $1,200-$1,400 depending on the stock choice.

It all depends on what you want to use it for. Just don't do anything silly like pinning magazines down to 7 rounds! The rest of us already have a hard time trying to be allowed to legally own guns like that.
