    Those M10X's look real nice. Never handled one but they look cool.
    Great rifle, but other than using AK mags and a Zhukov stock they are nothing like an AK. If you happen to be going to the Reunion I'll bring mine and you can shoot it. It's kind of heavy now that I put my Sightmark Photon on it. To me it is an ideal pig gun.

    This is the AK I bought sometime back on a Fathers day sale. It is a Blem PSA AK47 Liberty GB2 Zhukov Rifle. What is the thought on these? Sounded like it got good reviews at the time.

    The problem with some of the imported AK's like the WASR and Yugo's(Zastava) were that they had to be "modified" in the US by some importers that historically did not have the best reputation. Sights were canted, mag wells were shoddy, etc. It seems quality control has gone up but there is still room for improvement. Zastava is now in the US releasing their own firearms because they were tired of others shitting up their products. With all that said, I bought an Yugo O-PAP 7-8 years ago that has been great. Same goes for the VZ008(cz58) that I got from PSA back in the day for $399(w/5mags, sling,pouch, and bayonet) shipped. The Gen3 PSA AK's have a good reputation and @ $539(+-) they are hard to beat economically. I own a PSA AK-P (Krink"ish" clone) that has been flawless.
    +1 for RobSki @ AKOU

    I know very little about them, mostly wanted the caliber as the rounds were cheap (when I bought them anyway, 3k rounds for $200). So far it has worked flawlessly and doesn't seem to be suffering any. I watched the Robski video on the one they tested and checked mine in the same places and show no real wear and tear on it after several hundred rounds. Should last me a lifetime. Acceptable accuracy at 100 yards. Shoots pigs very well at my brothers ranch.

    I've been very happy with my PSA AK-P GF3. I've got about 700 rounds through it now, no signs of unusual wear. I've not had a single failure with it, runs like a sewing machine.

    I've not been able to shoot past fifty yards due to range rules, no short barrel past fifty yards. For a 10.5" barrel the thing is pretty accurate, it should be good out to 300 yards I'm thinking. Groups open up a little when she gets hot, nothing to really complain about though. Great firepower for such a small package.

    Primary Arms GEN II Prism scope is fantastic. Just about everyone at the range that's tried it has loved this setup. I just wish it had an ambi safety.

    Two best AK’s are Made by IO Inc and anything built from the ground up by Century. You should definitely get those. Having those says you definitely know your AKs!
    I made that mistake once. Many moons ago. IO sporter, bought it for $600 in 2010, sold it for $850 in 2012. I’m a Stoner guy for life now.

    If the sights are canted, it was the manufacturer overseas that did it. I don't think any AK rifle has been imported and then had it's bbl depopulated / repopulated prior to sale. Most changes on import guns are magwells, muzzle devices, triggers, and furniture. The first is the only real problem, and yes, come companies do mess it up.

    Back to the OPs question: right now the best options available include:

    WBP Fox Classic

    Arsenal SAM 7

    PSA G3

    If you want to SBR an AK pistol, try a Draco, M92 PAP, or SAM7-k44.

    Depends on the extent to which the "parts kits" were assembled at time of import. Many assembled with new US barrels.
