Nice piece there!

I'm jonsin' for an RPK, myself. I'd like to 'trick it out' like an SVD with the SVD stock and the long flash-hider (perhaps use a long FAL hider), then slap either an 8x PSOP scope or just a normal scope with the side-rail adapter on top. I'd get the AES-10, but I'm worried that the barrel is so thin and long that the heat of repeated shooting would change the POA/POI.

the aes i seen at the gun store has a heavy duty barrel . it's real thick.they want 525.00 it's nice and the wood grain is real nice too. it's not all that smooth just like the new ak i got today . but the wood grain has potential .

Yeah, there's the AES-10, which has the bipod attached at the back of the barrel, and the AES-B "heavy barrel", which has the bipod attached at the front of the barrel.

Also, the AES-B has cooling fins near the back of the barrel, while the AES-10 does not.

The thing is, I really want a long-barreled AK and the AES-10 has a 23" barrel while the AES-B has a 21" barrel. I realize it's only 2", but I still like the long-barrel look to the AES-10, plus it's $70 cheaper! ($419 vs. $489)

I'm just so torn...

it was a aes-b i looked at i'm pretty sure. when i had it in my hands i was thinkin of some kinda muzzle brake to put on the end of it to dress it up a bit . but i do think it will be my next gun being it's the closest i'll get to a dragunov.lol

Hm, I know Century sends out the AES-10 without a break and the AES-B (or M72 RPK-style, on the CAI site) has a 45 degree break installed.

Here's the AES-10: Product Detail Page
Here's the AES-B: Product Detail Page

I can get the first for $419+ship+fees and the second for $489+ship+fees.

I was thinking very hard of getting one of these and installing a scope (with either a side-rail adaptor and nice variable zoom scope or just an 8x PSOP), a long SVD-style NDS Tabuk flash hider, and the finger-grooved SVD stock that BRG3 has for sale and pictured here. Man, that would be just as cool as an SVD, but just a weaker round (x39 rather than x54R)... though, better for follow-up shots!

they had it labled as a aes-b but it didn't have a slnt brake and the bipod was all the way to the end just like the aes-10. i looked at it a few days before i got my other ak. they might have miss labled it.

Well, if it is the AES-10, they're asking about $100 too much. Classic Arms, Inc has that for $419. If you want the heavier barrel AES-B, J&G Arms has it for $489. You could argue the shipping + transfer fee would make the difference, but then I'd argue the taxes would make that up to near equal.

i don't mind paying the extra i do figure it's for the ffl fees plus i figure i would keep him going rather than the greedy pawn shop down the road.this guy sells to respectable peoplewhere the pawn shop is a if you got the cash you got the gun type of place.

hey billy it really ain't no work i just go to the dump every day when i can and pickup the scrap metals and sell them with my son and walla a free gun amerges about a month anda half later.lol

Wow Tommy thats great but it's got me really curious, just how many tons of steel are you picking up in a month? I ask because I have hauled a ton of my scrap off a couple of times before and it didn't yield much moolah.

copper is 2.10 a pound and aluminum is .51 cents a pound and brass is 1.40 a pound you figure i live next to a dump where people throw away water heaters with the brass fittings walla they add up the old a/c's the coils are 1.18 a pound and the copper wires are all scrapped too . i just throw it all to the side till i got a load big enough to go to the scrap yard. oh yea you know them gas grills they are made out of cast aluminum and they weigh about 20lbs a piece and they pay .51 cents a pound for them and man they got one in there every day .thats 51 dollars every hundred pounds of aluminum and with the gas grill it don't take long. i snip all the cords off the freezers and washers and put them in a box and clean them .it all adds up. and my son helps out alot . after all he gets all the guns if something happens to me .
