    Check either for straightness though.

    So... I eventually went with this option:

    - Type 56-S (Sporter) comes with the fixed
    stock.
    - Made in factory 313.
    - Includes 4 mags, a sling, double
    magpouch and about 30 rounds of
    ammo. All in @ R7k. Bought from a fellow
    gunsiter.

    She has a round out of 60.

Accessories for the most part look cool but add weight.The Saiga has a side rail which allows mounting of a scope/red dot. Yes additional cost but the system is proven and not some add on.See
    Plus the Saiga folding stock is rock solid.
    1400 rounds! Heavy going!

    Then I have a choice of a used type 56 @ R7500 with the following description :

    "Fitted with aftermarket, ATI fore-grip with top and side picatinny rails, ATI pistol grip and ATI side-folding, telescopic stock, all in Desert Tan colour.
    Also includes Magpul AFG2 Angled Foregrip. Includes Bushnell red dot sight.
    Includes 2 x 30 round magazine."

    Not sure of the round count. Not sure what the value is of all the accessories but I'm assuming its a fair bit of value that's been added.

    Rifle will be used for the occasional sport shoot.

    What happened with the ATI kitted AK?
    Has it been sold or is it still available ?
