IO has a rough track record on there ak builds you dont have to look far for a negative review.... Wasr why its not the value it once was its a very soild build Cuir factory (romaninan) built weapon (during high production times) some had crooked front sights but still very well built firearms compared to many of the us built choices... Plus a front sight is a easy fix for those that tinker with gunsI've seen multiple wasr's and interordiance AKs on arms list for 600. You can always change the furniture out to better your liking

INGO member and area local sold me a RAS47. Looks to be in great shape and came with four mags, extra set of furniture, 3 grips and 100 rounds of ammo for $600. Rifle looks great and a quick take down shows it appears to be in good order. Won't be able to shoot it for a while due to work / weather (actually today is very nice out... but work) but I trust that it functions fine.
I was on the fence about the RAS47 due to online reviews, but it seems the issues those who bought them early on have been worked out and this has only had 200rds through it.
Been wanting an AK for a while, glad to have one now.
Congrats on the new purchase as well. Although you've got a lot of furniture options, make sure to check out the new Magpul AK offerings; especially the Zuhkov folding stock. Sootch00 did a great review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebLb3CgsHh0
