I've never had a problem finding AKs, Maadis or Mak 90s in the various local pawn shops. The SKS guns are even easier to find, every time I go to the gun show someone has a case full of new Yugoslavian models for $100 each.

yes, just like BP said, gun shows are great... seems like there is one every other month. I know its not in houston area, but there is a cool shop called 'Military Gun Supply' on 820N in fort worth. they specialize in military **** and have walls of WWII stuff and AK's. as they are retail, their prices are a bit high on the mil-surp stuff, but its an alternative to the gunshows.

How much are you wanting to spend on an AK? You get what you pay for you know. I wouldnt spend any significant amount of money on a WASR 10 (which is what the market is flooded with right now)

i wouldn't want to spend anymore than $300 on the AK, but maybe a little more for a nice SKS

I think you might have it backwards. The SKS is the old rifle, Pre-AK. They are about a dime a dozen. You really cant "spend the money on a good one". Some may be better than others (depending on what country they were made in etc), you can fix them up, but they will still be an SKS. I go to gun shows and see them being sold new out of the crate, covered in cosmoline for $89. That is a good deal for a quality, utilitarian gun.

Just in case there is some confusion here (and there must be in order to spend more on an SKS than an AK)

Yugoslavian SKS (typically what I see at shows for $89-$100 new in crate)

Cheap, yes. Inaccurate compared to other rifles, yes. Can you hit a man @ 100yard with no problem, absolutely. 1 of the most (if not the most) rugged and reliable guns out there, yep.

I would hardly call them pieces of crap. Theres millions in graves around the world thanks to the AK.

agree. my old room is very accurate with his SKS. he did spend time in the 82nd with a bigger gun, but he said consistant practice and you can good shot with one.

First time I went out shooting with my SKS I was able to shoot 3" 3-shot groups at 100yds with the iron sites. Not too shabby for a gun designed 50 years ago, and actually manufactured over 30 years ago.

I'd still like to pick up an AK-47 to plink around with.
