Quick question..

My local shop has a Yugo fixed stock for $499. They also have a Bulgarian SSR 85 for $565. Which is the better AK?

Also, the Yugo couldn't accept bulgarian polymer mags. He said they would need some fitting, is that normal? And when he inserted the regular hi-cap metal mags, there was a little bit of wobble. Could this be due to that particular mag or should I be concerned that all mags would have that problem?

Thanks in advance. I am hoping to go pick one up today

Could just be the mag, some wobble is normal (only 1/5 of the mag is supported vertically, not laterally-thats what the dimples in the receiver try to give-lateral stability) and is actually better if it has just a tad bit of wobble. Some AKs need to have certain mags fitted or you fit the receiver to fit any AK mag....

Thank you. Hopefully I can make it out there today and pick one up.

Which would you recommend? The Yugo w/ fixed stock (wish I could make an UF or sidefolder).

or

Bulgarian SSR 85

Atlantic firearms - AR15 & AK47 rifles - Olympic arms at wholesale prices.

I know, I know.. enough with the questions but you seem to be the go-to guy when it comes to ak's on the forums.

Can you speak to the quality of the SSR 85? Not really stressing the need to have a sidefolder just like that I can use it if I choose to.
