    Default Considering a 762x39 handgun need advice

    Looking for very high reliability preferably with crap steel ammo, a 762x39 handgun ak or ar varient or other preferably with flat top / rail for prismatic/red dot site and taking common mags either ak or ar mags. Looking for advice; on the cheap end the radical firearms offerings look interesting and can be had for $500 but maybe if ar pattern building one would be the most economical way to go. Assuming the AK variants would be more reliable but not as accurate? Any feedback welcome!

    a 7" barrel (mini draco) will give decent groups at 50yd, no they arent as accurate as rifles but nothing with a short barrel is. if you want to shoot past 50yd get a draco or m92. but keep in mind most stock aks do not have rails installed, although there are plenty of options to add one.

    LOL!

    Took a page right out of Cruzan's book.


    Q: "Hey, what do you guys think of (insert gun here)???"

    A: " Never held one, but "X" looks pretty decent."

    "THANKS! I already ordered one!"

    That sounds like a good deal.

    Usually you get screwed buying directly from the manufacturer, but I see it's on clearance.

    I see you got mags too, but check this place out.
    One of the few places that have the 28 rd CPD mags available and also fairly priced.
    northriverllc.com

    I will probably get some from them too eventually.

    I mentioned the 28 rd mags, but forgot to say why I mentioned them.
    You may already be aware, but for those who do not, CPD makes 10, 20, 28, and 30 rd 7.62x39 mags, and the "curve" on the 30 rounder is pretty extreme. The 28 rd mag isn't so drastic and they claim it fits in "standard" mag pouches.

    I'm going to start with those and 20 rd mags simply because I don't care for the look of the 30 rd mag.
