Saigas are Russian made, but I like seeing them in American hands better than Russian hands!
Plus, the AK-47 is vastly superior to most other assault rifles in its dependability and durability. I would never waste 3x the price buying an AR platform when I can get the AK so cheaply and with equal or superiour performance!

The problem for me is the cost. I have never seen a decent AR for $200 or $400 bucks, but you can pick up the AK all the time for that price. Why spend all that extra money for the AR when it is not significantly better? It might even be significantly worse!
