- economic friendly ammo you can get around 1100 rounds for under $200.
-Average selection of gear to put on the AK
-VERY eay to use no prior training required.
- this rifle doesnt need to be maintained at all . but cleaning it will be best for any rifle
-Accuracy is almost average depending if you have high end parts installed.
