AK-74

[Wreaver]

In my neck of the woods, Brazil/Terre Haute area, there isn't much a selection. Top Guns is open now and they have a nice selection but currently don't have a 74 in stock. Anyone know of a shop within a reasonable travel time that usually has any in stock.

Not really looking to spend 900$ on an Arsenal so maybe someone with a lower to mid quality?

The cheap and good Ak74 boat has sailed.

Best bet is to order online or watch the classifieds on this site and ARFcom for a decent deal.

Buy once, cry once. Make damn sure it has an original foreign barrel.

 

[Wreaver]

Yeah, I'm not looking for anything amazing for cheap. Just something middle of the road 4-600 bucks. It's going to be for my son so no need for a 900 Arsenal, lol.

Try that. I read some good reviews on it. It has the original foreign barrel on it they just welded a flash suppressor onto it to conform to BATF regulations.

Appreciate the link but it's 7.62 and I'm looking for 5.45

This is the best I could find:

[Wreaver]

Yeah, I've seen several online but was looking for something within reasonable driving distance of my area that I could look over before purchasing. Top Guns said they could order me one but looking for something I can inspect before buying, hence lookin for any shop that might have any.

There will be a ton at the Indy 1500...

 

[Wreaver]

lol, yeah, was trying to avoid the 1500. I don't know why but I can't stand going.

If you can find a saiga 5.45 near you, you can convert that for much cheaper than an arsenal.

 

[Wreaver]

If I were handy manny (sorry I have kids, lol) I would explore that but sadly I'm not builder bob qualified.

Not true. The 1500's of late have not had very many quality Ak's to speak of.

I usually attend every 1500...

The one shop that at the 1500 does carry quality Ak's is Midwest gun exchange, they usually have a several Arsenal's to choose from.

WASR does not = Ak74.

I too have been looking for a 74 with no luck other than online retailers. I'd love to find a Saiga 5.45 and convert that, but around here all I ever see are .223s. I finally came across a 7.62 and snatched that up in a hurry.

 

[Wreaver]

I feel like I'm on a snipe hunt trying to find a 74 around here, lol.

If I felt competent enough to do it myself I would consider this route, but I'd probably blow myself up, .

 

[Wreaver]

A buddy of mine a handful of months back said he knew a guy in Terre Haute that does AK's but he moved a couple months ago and I haven't talked to him in a while, I never found out who the guy was, lol.

 

[jd4320t]

Where are you located? I know there are guys on here that would help you.
