I only have Zastavas. I love them. They feel like fine weapons. I love watching people smile after they shoot the guns. Some people even end up buying one for their collection. 😊
@ yessir. They’re not the prettiest but they’re by far the most rugged ak you can get for 800 or so bucks. I have one I’ve beat the piss out of and it’s never skipped a beat
The only ars that are really cool to me are like mk12s m16a4s or the gwot m4s or some kind of clone build...but the thing ab clones is they gotta be right...if it's just a hodge podge mutt build its prolly still pretty cool but your psa or aero lower kills the vibe
I always liked AKs in conception but your channel drove me to my first purchase years ago I bought a Polish lynx pistol for 500 bucks and still my favorite fire breather!

Warning: these events are very addicting and you'll need a separate monthly budget for ammo. I just shoot a plain ol converted saiga with a tapco G2 trigger kit, telescoping stock, pistol grip and magpul handguard (with a MI Gen 1 side mount rail and holosun 510). Nothing fancy, but it's treated me well.
Yep when you get a nice ak everything changes. For me it’s my slr106 and my Saiga 104 build also my beryl 762 and mini beryl. All of them are made so well and such good shooters. Nice list klayco.
So true brother. I remember only seeing crappy AK builds back in the late 90s, and the shitty Century imported Maadis or the crappy Romak thumbhole AKs. Then I got my hands on a milled Chinese Mak-90 and that changed the way I felt about the Kalash. Those were perceived as crappy back then but it was very finely built AK - now they are gold.
Yes a VEPR is a must have for a real AK collector, but in a realistic top 5 AK's I'd pick a saiga over the VEPR, (unless it's in the roll of suppressive fire) but it's a very slim niche it's extremely heavy with little gain... And this is coming from someone with a FM-VEPR AK47-21 and two VEPR 12's.... I love my VEPRS, but it's not in my top 5
@@justanothergunnerd8128 they really do... everything is beefed up and the materials are top shelf... The bolt throw seems to be on ball bearings... But they're not perfect, aftermarket parts are limited (zenitco is the only way to go), no bayonet lug or cleaning rod, and the biggest ding on the VEPR is the weight...

My Top Favorite Aks that I own 1. Milled WBP Mini Jack 2. Galil Ace Gen 2 308 3. Sam7sf 4. Zastava M77 5. Beryl I got into the Ak world last year cause of you didn’t know Aks can be this fun but definitely a pocket burner 😂
Impressive. OK, here is my top five Questions. 1. Do they all have stock barrels? 2. How high is the round count, when you say it has a high round count? 3. Do they all have trigger "mods" 4. Do you run corrosive surplus ammo? 5. How often do you clean your barrels?
I love the Draco with fixed stock trunnion - can do a wood stock or the tradition Romanian folder. So cool. My second favorite of your top 5 would be the Polish type 3 original barrel on the Bulgarian SLR-100 receiver. Love the channel - keep it up!
I seen a slr 107 r on kvar not to long ago. I think they stay out of stock most of the time but here and there k var “ finds “ some. 1600 is just to steep for me when there are some nice polish guns coming in country.
1. AKS74U, when my wife and I were dating, she thought the krink was the coolest thing in the world and we bought a kit for 500 and sat on it for almost a decade cuz we were too broke to have it built. Fast forward and Jim fuller built it when he still had Rd. It’s definitely everyone’s fav at the range 2. SGL21 I bought when I was working at sporting goods store. I special ordered it unknowingly 2 months before the fireArmageddon of 2013. I’ve done well in several matches with it. 3. Type 56 My wife’s father unearthed a Chinese preban AK he bought in 81 that he forgot about. Its been in his closet since and It’s been completely unchanged and it’s been a great shooter. 4. Wasr 10 When I was in high school (2010ish)my dad surprised me with a $320 AK that has never had a malfunction. It’s had well over 6k rounds and hasn’t had an issue. It’s sporting surplus dong furniture. 5. Rpd carbine I don’t know does that count as an AK? Probably not, not but it’s cool. When we were dating, my wife and I worked at a local gun store and we worked out a deal to score a DSA rpd carbine, basically as a knee jerk purchase. It’s only been about 80% reliable but it was incredible fun watching it run at kb 2024.
New to the AK game as an owner…. But I do love my pre-ban PolyTech underfolder. Shoots great and is enjoyable! It only had about 100 or so rounds through it when I got it and I’ve only been able to run about 2-300 through it myself. I’ve enjoyed every trigger pull.
Right when covid hit, I found an Armslist listing for a converted Saiga 74 with 3k rounds of 5.45 and a few mags for $800. It was flagged as a scam listing, I'm glad I sent that email. Sadly due to 5.45 pricing and availability, she sits in the back of my safe.
Seems like two shipments -one at the end of this month and probably the second one in December- will leave Cugir with destination US. The company director said they have two million dollars refiles in storage, they will modify them to be more attractive and sell them all. (after employees were on strike because of lack of orders)
I mean the best ak is a csa vz 58, but its ok, ill let it slide lol. On a serious note, always love your honest content...its refreshing to not be shilled specific manufacturers latest items for a change 👍
I bought my 104fr, 106f, and 107fr all for under $750 each, no one wanted them especially the 106. At the time I thought I was throwing away money but they have been the best I’ve ever owned.
I think some of the best import for stamped where Siaga and especially Vepr rifles, preban milled and stamped Norinco, older milled arsenal and stamped, Hungarian, original kits with barrels like east Germans, early Romanians and Beryl's are all amazing. Only 1 millitary factory still imports milspec AKMs and that's the WASR10 shame the WASR .223 has a crap barrel. The M90 is nice same with the chrome lined M70 and the short versions. I have have a 12" Draco with a folding triangle stock a drilled and rivited side optic mount with RS mounts and a PA optic in my car since I was 21. The 5.56 Beryl's are really nice but will soon be sold out. 7.62x39 WBP kits with a FB barrel, polish 80 and polish rivets are pretty good kits shame FB does not sell 5.56 barrels as the WBP 5.56 and 5.45 have junk barrels but WBP is not really a military manufacturer but they do have small contracts. If you ever see a new Romanian parts kit or gun for sale called cigir nova it's total crap and it's not made in the same military factory as the Draco and wasrs it's made for civilians and it's awful. Once in a blue moon century will get a batch of milspec Romanian RPKs and they are great. It takes time to convert a Siaga but a Vepr sporter is a pain in the ass but when converted it's like a stamped rolls Royce of AKs I still have quite a few Sigas and Veprs unconverted with conversion parts in storage and some new in the box mak90s The 9mm nova Romanian 9mm AKs are awful it's better to get a KUSA 9 or a PSA AK9 no milspec 9mm ak has ever been imported. It's a shame 7.62x39 is so expensive and I feel guilty to shoot 7N6 or any 5.45 as at this point it's like collectors ammo but as a kid to an adult my uncle used to do imports and at one point he was paying under 5c a round. AKs are very expensive as they use old school machining and labour intensive hand fitting but they are so fun to shoot and very collectable. I really wish I could get an "Asian contract kit" and it would mostly round out my collection. With AR15s you can now buy a high quality duty grade milspec CHF CL AR for less than any milspec AK but ARs are just so boring to shoot.
I think you're really sleeping on ball razor endorsements. Just think about it. You can have a special one shaped like an AK or maybe an SKS, or just like the bayonet. It would be a massive hit!

I don’t get into the AK vs AR thing much but I have more ARs than AKs. I went to a rifle only match one time when I got AR flavor amnesia and took my AK. I chuckled when a guy there called me an AK guy. Sure, I was a guy with an AK but I’m not an “AK guy” per se.
My top AK is whatever one I am currently holding. That said, great list of guns. one day I will sbr my amd65 to its original length. it currently has a 14.5 which is cool, just not 12-inch cool.
I bought an AKM 7.62 Stamped Bulgarian Underfolder assembled by Vector Arms around 2011. I think they are closed for business now. Any historical perspectives on Vector built AK quality?
The rifle during the intro phase of this video appears to be a Kragujevac arsenal/Zastava M70, a very accurate and reliable Kalashnikova variant. How you kept the auxiliary sights from popping up is a mystery.🤣
I have a K101 numbered 275 but it does also have the Gordon Tech "G" stamp you mention on your other video. Any idea or thoughts on that as numbers go? I was curious to know if numbering maybe actually started at 100 vs 01 or something.
@tinglygh Gordan told me (based on his memory) they were numbered 001-251, one of which being a prototype. If you have 275 that's goes against his memory 🤔
@KLAYCO47 interesting, I have a FREAK! I'll send you pics on IG if you ever get a chance to ask him. My memory is bad too so I'm not holding anything against him 🤣
I agree with you, I also collect AK, I have 5 Arsenals and the only one that beats my SAM 5 is my SLR 104, but my SM 5 is my favorite no matter what other people say.
Current top 5 in my collection: 5. OG Galil, solely for the beer can bottle opener 4. Meridian Defense Pestilence 3. Arsenal Sam7SF 2. FB Radom Beryl Honorable mention #1: RPK AES10B Honorable mention #2: Zastava M77 (bought it because you ‘panic’ bought it😊) 1. Zastava M92, fully kitted with sharkfin, MRO, Surefire turbo, adjustable gas, Wolverine on Jmak X37 365 muzzle device. It’s my beside gun right now (Sorry I couldnt pick just 5 😊 )
Aaaaand... Here you have him, guys, the actual Smooth Operator Sade sang about. That Draco SBR in its current setup is the sweetest evilest thing ever.
My favorite 2 of the 5 you chose is #1 the sbr Draco. That is just T!ts! And #2 the SLR 107 I only have 2 atm A 1974 Romy G kit on a nds3 built by Henderson defense And a Kusa 103 sfs. I need next a 556 AK Down line would like. Draco to sbr
@@DarkWolff. AoA is the only place that has them, but unfortunately they only have a few left in stock nor will anymore be imported, but will definitely see them on GB for 10x the price. I highly suggest getting it now. They even have a decent payment plan option too if you currently have other priorities at the moment. Just don’t be like me and wait. Did it with the Mini Beryl now are 2.5K+ easily.
@@KLAYCO47 you're opinion in the AK game is worth it weight to me so can you elaborate on why that is?? You had faster mag changes, it shot super flat and seemed to enjoy it overall... Not to justify my own purchase I am just curious why in your opinion the Ace didn't meet the cut??
@KnightsUnion they are awesome guns, almost too good. As far as the shooting experience though it's a little too far removed from an AK in my opinion for me to enjoy it as much as a regular AK.
I only have Zastavas. I love them. They feel like fine weapons. I love watching people smile after they shoot the guns. Some people even end up buying one for their collection. 😊

I think some of the best import for stamped where Siaga and especially Vepr rifles, preban milled and stamped Norinco, older milled arsenal and stamped, Hungarian, original kits with barrels like east Germans, early Romanians and Beryl's are all amazing. Only 1 millitary factory still imports milspec AKMs and that's the WASR10 shame the WASR .223 has a crap barrel. The M90 is nice same with the chrome lined M70 and the short versions. I have have a 12" Draco with a folding triangle stock a drilled and rivited side optic mount with RS mounts and a PA optic in my car since I was 21.
The 5.56 Beryl's are really nice but will soon be sold out. 7.62x39 WBP kits with a FB barrel, polish 80 and polish rivets are pretty good kits shame FB does not sell 5.56 barrels as the WBP 5.56 and 5.45 have junk barrels but WBP is not really a military manufacturer but they do have small contracts.
If you ever see a new Romanian parts kit or gun for sale called cigir nova it's total crap and it's not made in the same military factory as the Draco and wasrs it's made for civilians and it's awful.
Once in a blue moon century will get a batch of milspec Romanian RPKs and they are great.
It takes time to convert a Siaga but a Vepr sporter is a pain in the ass but when converted it's like a stamped rolls Royce of AKs
I still have quite a few Sigas and Veprs unconverted with conversion parts in storage and some new in the box mak90s
The 9mm nova Romanian 9mm AKs are awful it's better to get a KUSA 9 or a PSA AK9 no milspec 9mm ak has ever been imported.
It's a shame 7.62x39 is so expensive and I feel guilty to shoot 7N6 or any 5.45 as at this point it's like collectors ammo but as a kid to an adult my uncle used to do imports and at one point he was paying under 5c a round.
AKs are very expensive as they use old school machining and labour intensive hand fitting but they are so fun to shoot and very collectable.
I really wish I could get an "Asian contract kit" and it would mostly round out my collection.
With AR15s you can now buy a high quality duty grade milspec CHF CL AR for less than any milspec AK but ARs are just so boring to shoot.
I love WBP. They're not military but use FB Radom barrels and their fit and finish is excellent. If I can't get Russian, I'm going with Polish.
I think you're really sleeping on ball razor endorsements. Just think about it. You can have a special one shaped like an AK or maybe an SKS, or just like the bayonet. It would be a massive hit!

The good old AK rifle my 2nd favorite ever my favorite rifle is the SKS :) that being said. Something about an AK that's more awesome than an AR
Like the looks of the Polish Type 3...
I have a Romanian Draco. I almost traded it. So glad that I didn't. Will never get rid of that gun
What's the pistol grip on your 106 Alpha Clone? Looks comfy.
The new Meridian defense grip
@@KLAYCO47 Thank you my good man. Love your videos :)
Current top 5 in my collection:
5. OG Galil, solely for the beer can bottle opener
4. Meridian Defense Pestilence
3. Arsenal Sam7SF
2. FB Radom Beryl
Honorable mention #1: RPK AES10B
Honorable mention #2: Zastava M77 (bought it because you ‘panic’ bought it😊)
1. Zastava M92, fully kitted with sharkfin, MRO, Surefire turbo, adjustable gas, Wolverine on Jmak X37 365 muzzle device. It’s my beside gun right now
(Sorry I couldnt pick just 5 😊 )
Aaaaand... Here you have him, guys, the actual Smooth Operator Sade sang about.
That Draco SBR in its current setup is the sweetest evilest thing ever.
What was the name of that course or company you showed footage of in Arizona for the final AK?
What’s that short mag you are running on the 107
That ab2 is my jam
That Draco! 😍
My favorite 2 of the 5 you chose is #1 the sbr Draco. That is just T!ts! And #2 the SLR 107
I only have 2 atm
A 1974 Romy G kit on a nds3 built by Henderson defense
And a Kusa 103 sfs.
I need next a 556 AK
Down line would like. Draco to sbr
Get the Beryl if you can for 556
@TheBlackAce99 that is definitely one I'm looking at , if still around when I can afford
@@DarkWolff. AoA is the only place that has them, but unfortunately they only have a few left in stock nor will anymore be imported, but will definitely see them on GB for 10x the price. I highly suggest getting it now. They even have a decent payment plan option too if you currently have other priorities at the moment. Just don’t be like me and wait. Did it with the Mini Beryl now are 2.5K+ easily.
@TheBlackAce99 yeah I've been looking at them there
I own 2, my order is..
#2 AK-63D
#1 BERYL 762
I'm surprised you didn't put your arsenal saiga SGL 21 as a honorable mention
Is the Polish type 3 a KBK wz 1960 kit or something different?
No polytechs?
Not yet
Out of those 20 AKs, how many are duplicates?
I don't believe I have duplicates anymore
Watching this from California 😿
My personal top five
SA93
SGL 31-61
Arsenal 107 FR
Arsenal 106 UR
PSA built, Romanian RPK
You have all these AKs yet no IR/night time fighting capabilities? Am I missing something here?
@@RisvoldTheGreat nope
Been planning on chopping my RD 703 14.5 down to 12/12.5
So you think it would fuck in a 12 incher?
100% dude
My Draco-C has bad accuracy 50yds all kinds of flyers bad grouping all while locked in to a shooting rest. Bad barrel a thing?
They just don't have the best barrels from Factory I had to put an American one in mine
For me:
1) aks74u sssr
2) akm sssr
3) ak74n/m sssr
4) og chinase spiker
5) serbian m92
🥰
who would you have convert a saiga klay ?
@@clatham1021 SOF Defense
NO ADD'S FOR BALLSACK RAZERS!!!
Lmao 🤣😂🤣 you caught me off guard with that one, I was laughing or chuckled for the rest of the video.
Can you say the caliber of each i dont know
IYO, What are the three best 5.56 AK's currently available under $1200? Do all 5.56 Ak use the same magazines and how is their availability!
Probably the pap 85. I like Saiga, but I dont know what they are going for these days.
Good sh*t bro!
NO GALIL ACE THO?? 😢
They're really cool but I wouldn't have those over any one of these
@@KLAYCO47 you're opinion in the AK game is worth it weight to me so can you elaborate on why that is?? You had faster mag changes, it shot super flat and seemed to enjoy it overall... Not to justify my own purchase I am just curious why in your opinion the Ace didn't meet the cut??
@KnightsUnion they are awesome guns, almost too good. As far as the shooting experience though it's a little too far removed from an AK in my opinion for me to enjoy it as much as a regular AK.
I have all the aks I want except for a double folder coming soon
man i thought you were going to put an honorable mention for the ak 103, that you won in that charity
Molot veprs are the best and there’s no debate
Is your wife jealous of your returned AK? lol what a story. I'm still rocking my SLR-95 Bulgarian milled.
No Norinco? I thought for sure a Norinco would make the list....
I don't own one
