AK guys are AK guys because they like the history and internationality of the gun. All things equal, I think I'd still prefer one made in Serbia or Romania than America.
I've heard PSA AK's are generally not good, but for that was when they were like 800+. Might be worth 630, but I've never used one.
GF3 is g2g per ak operators union
Good enough for me.
