I really hate to be selling all of my AKs, because contrary to erronet information - this quality of AK can be very accurate. However, I do think the FN Scar offers several advantages:
* Non-rock-in magazine changes
* Safety location
* Ease of optic mounting
.....waaaaay back I had a Valmet M71s...sold it BEFORE the changes to the laws here, regretted it every day..that was a great rifle. Probably the only AK style I would prefer more would be the South African R4/LM4, they took the Galil and made it better IMHO...:D

I've had several Valmet M76 tube folders. They were nice, but non-chrome lines bores is a nonstarter for me. The two Galils I've had (both 386) we're outstanding and very soft / smooth shooting, but HEAVY.

The R4 is a hefty rifle but will outlast most owners... ;)They also fitted me a little better than the Galil as the butt was a little longer (as the average south African was apparently larger than the average Israeli – and I have “monkey arms”), the butt was also a polycarbonate. Chrome bores are nice but not a deal breaker for me. .22 ASH....  That is JUST what I am after (and should you ever decide to divest yourself from that one, well, I "know a guy" ...  I have a .18 and .22 and MUCH prefer the .22, just trying to find a coated one and it is proving elusive !!!!! Even the Custom shop does not have a blank at the moment..!!!

Andy,
I don't have any plans to part with her, but if I do I'll send you a note.

Since I am a Moderator, let me moderate.
Let's see. This Guy in Oz has a .18 Ash and this guy in the States has a .22. The guy in the states WISHES he had a .18. Hmmmmm.

Randy,
Best moderating I've seen around these parts!
There was a missing element though...the dog in the states has two bones..one in .18 and one in .22.
