I'd say its between the KelTec RDB and the new BCL Coyote.
Having said that, if you're REALLY frugal, and patient, you can build out a MS or SLR for less than 1500
I’d love to see that breakdown considering the atrs receiver set alone is $1,200. So, for less than $300 you’re suggesting it’s reasonable to acquire an 18.6” barrel, bolt carrier group, buffer kit, lower parts kit, gas tube, gas block, charging handle, forward assist, ejection port cover, handguard, and stock? Less than $300?

It can be done. Put together an SLR with a $450 used rifle parts bundle. Maybe went a little over 1500 but not much. Rock river arms free float kit, turned out really awesome. View attachment 375090
Nice. Good job, man.
With your $450 RRA and and ATRS at $1244 it would be $1694.
I will have to concede, even though I don't own one... it would have to be a $219 Nork SKS with a $70 Tapco or ATI stock. Heaven help me, even I am considerring getting one!
Don't bother with the aftermarket stuff, they don't really improve the Rifle much. The only thing I would add is one of those Rubber Butt Stock extenders, and a hand full of stripper clips.
-buy an sks
-paint it black
You get: the best bang for the buck NR black rifle![]()
Excellent write up Bratwurst. It's too bad that some people have to pick apart every little thing. Get a life.
You could skip the spray paint and just char it on an open flame, should achieve the same effect.
I consistently get fairly close to 1 moa with my Wk180c. I guess the most subjective part is that you have to learn how to shoot better?My point is:
Some may agree with some points on some rifles, while others not so much. For the most part it is subjective nonsense therefore = circle jerk.
Take your long winded post above as an example, (very well done, btw - quite entertaining) the probability of a WK-180 maintaining 2 Moa with bulk dirty bird is laughable.
The description of the Type 81 having "horrific iron sights" when in reality it has a pretty common front post and rear leaf common with military rifles for going on, I dunno, something like 200 years...wait, maybe those were the humorous parts you warned readers of?
