There's a Gunbroker auction for a new AK that hasn't had any hits. It' listed for $699.
I have one of these with plastic furniture. I only have two complaints about the rifle.
1. The trigger is better one would expect for an AK, and as a result it's very light, and breaks unexpectedly (to me). Easily grown accustomed to..
2. The rear sight is windage adjustable and for whatever reason these sights make for a very small rear notch/more precise actually.. Good sight. Just hard to see..
It's a good deal for the money. Beats the pants off of a Saiga..

(I don't benefit or anything. I just found it.. Passing it along..)
