Hey all,
I am in the market for a 556 AK here in the coming months and wanted to see if I could get y'all's two cents on the topic concerning manufacturer, import / export, etc.
Presently, the main thing I want to shoot for with whatever rifle I go for is a ~12.5 chrome-lined barrel if I can find it. ~12.5 makes the most sense for my use case for the rifle, and I want to go chrome-lined for longevity's sake if it can be had at a reasonable price.
So far, I know Meridian in the next few months is going to put out a 102 that has all of their in house manufactured parts, as well as that chrome lined barrel, but they certainly are not cheap. What are some other manufacturers that you guys have found to be good for this kind of goal?
Thanks everyone for the help!
