I had a dark black experience with a Golani that involved repeatedly sending it back to Century until they replaced it with a new one which I promptly sold off to an FFL. I felt freedom getting rid of that piece of junk.
I have two SKSs and many AKs. All are fine weapons. The AKs' quality depends on who built it rather than the basic design.
SKS's and AK parts are drying up now so you should shop around and act quickly. Blaine at ATLANTIC FIREARMS (you can Google his web site) in Md. can give you a good honest answer on what you can expect to spend. Gunbroker has hundreds of ads but it is always best to lay your hands on something which can cost between 400 and 1000 dollars.
The FFL who bought my clunker Golani sold it for 950. Best to have someone with you experienced in the specific weapon and what to look for. In the case of the Golani I would reject anything connected in any way with CAI, Century Arms.
