So, I saw this on Primary Arms website (actually, it came in an email):

Now, I know nothing about Lee Armory or their quality. But $700 for a mostly assembled AK? That you have to install the trigger (parts included), stock, pistol grip, and handguard (all not included).
Now, you can probably find some ComBloc take-offs being sold by someone who turned his WASR into a MagPul catalog for pretty cheap, maybe less than $50.
But still, I can put together a PSA AR-15 M4gery for less than $400.
I thought one of the big advantages of the AK over the AR was supposedly that it was cheap. (Anyone know the going rate for an AKM in sub-Saharan Africa lately?)
