Tom,
That's in AK no man's land (more than junk / less than the rifles I'd recommend). It seems quality AKs have increased dramatically in value recently. This time last year I was liquidating my Arsenal AK collection and couldn't sell brand new in the box with free spare "circle 10" mags (read $$$) for $900. The same models are in the $1200 range now.

I know of an online retailer who has Arsenal 762x39 AKs for $999. The same retailer has WASRs for $639. I would never pay that much for a WASR!

Personally, I'd save a few more dollars and would get the $999 Arsenal.
