Fired one once, very different from the SAR 1 I was shooting that day. It held steadier, recoiled gentler and hit the 12"X12" steel diamond at 300 yards closer than the AK. And you don't lug around heavy duty steel magazines, just bullets. A lot to recommend it. And, for a time, there was that charming symmetry of a 99 buck SKS rifle and a 99 buck thousand round case of 7.62X39 to go with it. The militia special.
