Considering Purchasing an AK, opinions?

I am considering purchasing an AK, probably a Warsp 10. I have never owned one and was wandering if those who have/had one considered them a valuable weapon.

I can usually get them around here for $350 new. I have a small budget saved for a gun of about $800.

I have priced out the extras I would want for now:

Warsp 10 AK, with 2-30 round mags., field cleaning kit, sling - $350
15-30 round mags. @ $10 = $150 - $450
1000 rounds 7.62x39 @ $240/1000 - $690
Case, cleaning rod &brush, $50 - $740
5-4 mag. pouches $60 - $800

This is what I was considering buying, what do y'all think?
DEAL OR NO DEAL (lol)

If you want it and have the cash then go for it. The AK's will not let you down.

Thats a pretty solid plan JunkCollector. The only advice I have for you is to get a spare fire control group(trigger, hammer, sear and spring) They occasionally foul up having a spare is a good idea. When you get it if you have any question I am fairly experienced with them(the Wasr) and Freelancer is also an AK guy.

I went a different way with this idea. I attended an auction this morning and purchased a;

SKS ,(in great condition), with: 200 strip clips, case, and cleaning kit - for $90
1200 rounds of 7.62x39 - for $100

So I have a good semi auto rifle with plenty of ammunition, and strip clips, for me. and only payed little over $220 with taxes. Since I was willing to pay $800 for the AK and accessories, and saved $770, I can live with that.

I am going to order some replacement springs, and possibly a new trigger group, just to have extra. I will give it a shoot around tomorrow.
