    Mr. Ski,

    Thank you for your videos, they are very informative. I currently own a CAI WASR and was looking to purchase a DAKM 4150 but Atlantic does not have them in stock. I saw the RAK 47 Atlantic sells and was wondering how that compares to the DAKM. It is a few hundred more and was wondering if it is worth the extra money or wait for the DAKM to come back in stock. I just want a reliable shooter with wood furniture that looks like a classic AK type rifle. Thanks

      RAK is converted Saiga, when DAKM is made on Polish parts by Definitive Arms, but DAKM is cheaper and i think it is better value.

        Thank you. I will wait for the DAKM to become available again.

    Rob Ski,

    I’m just now getting into the AK platform. I have purchased my first AK which is a used Romarms Century with Quad Rails and what I believe to be an M-4 stock. I bought by picture and discriprion only. I know, not the best way to make a purchase but I loved the look and it was a trust in God thing.
    I’ll let you know if I fucked up once delivery is made or if I was lucky and received what I payed for. 700.00 btw.

    Enjoy your informitve videos. Look forward to being an AK brother.

    Regards,

    Jim

    rob, help!!!!!!!!!!!!! im looking to buy an ak, I already own an I.O. and I want a higher quality one. I have been looking at DDI and Century and Arsenal but I have been watching your videos and other reviews and im seeing poor reviews for ALL makers of aks . Im willing to spend 800-1200 on a good ak. but if I do, I want just that, a GOOD one. Which brand do I buy?

            Nope…not even at copper custom.

            I’m hoping that my local shop has one…If not, WASR 10 it is
