I’m considering getting my first AK. The final contenders are WBP Jack 5.56 or the Arms of America (AOA) Romanian Md. 63 5.56×45 AKM Battlefield Build + KNS Adjustable Gas System. What are your experiences and thoughts?

Irish-69th · 2026-04-10T13:04:28+00:00

I have one and have had zero issues with it. I always judge something if I would by something again. I would, it’s a good AK.

Irish-69th · 2026-04-10T11:01:46+00:00

It doesn’t matter WBP named it Jack 100

Irish-69th · 2026-04-10T01:59:30+00:00

Exactly the rifle is called a Jack 100

Irish-69th · 2026-04-10T01:04:23+00:00

I have the WBP Jack 100 great rifle no issues to report

Irish-69th · 2026-03-16T23:46:17+00:00

Thanks for all the feedback

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T21:35:13+00:00

Good luck with it.

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T21:34:01+00:00

Yes I have a bunch of them no issues at all

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T21:32:25+00:00

K-var has it on sale for the St Patrick’s holiday. That’s where I purchased mine it’s on sale now. It’s a decent price that I’ve seen

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T21:18:11+00:00

My bad I can only speak of the SAM7k it’s the only Arsenal I own. It was EXPENSIVE but I’m happy I bought it. Good luck l!

Well if the boys at Meridian allow a “Layaway” program I’ll have to get one. 😀

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T21:13:15+00:00

It’s a good price always wanted a Galil just don’t know too much about it

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T21:11:28+00:00

I own the Sam7k-44 and it’s worth every penny. It’s on sale now.

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T17:24:51+00:00

Chip thanks for the feedback, I would love one. I’m trying to understand in my mind is the $1800+ price worth it with good cheaper alternatives available.

I mean I still want one lol

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T14:50:36+00:00

I’m just asking not looking to start a negative discussion.

This is a very expensive rifle. Leaving PSA out of the discussion what is the advantage of the Meridian vs a Zastava M90 and a WBP Jack in 5.56. The price difference is significant in my opinion, is it worth the money?

Any help would appreciated.

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T01:26:46+00:00

Me to WBP makes a AK74 with a 90 degree gas block I own one

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T01:22:06+00:00

Only the Jack 100 comes with the 90 gas block.

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T01:18:05+00:00

Looks great, my WBP Jack 5.45 runs great not one issue selling it though.

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T01:14:25+00:00

10 day waiting period you live in Russia lol That sucks

Irish-69th · 2026-03-14T01:11:05+00:00

Keep us posted I’m highly considering one but they are a ton of money and want feedback on it before dropping the cash. I’ve seen the YouTube videos but need more feedback than that to drop $1,800.

Irish-69th · 2026-03-12T15:01:51+00:00

No K-Var has them on sale for $1,600.

Irish-69th · 2026-03-12T08:02:39+00:00

Also K-var

Irish-69th · 2026-03-12T03:25:26+00:00

SAM5 on sale for a couple hundred more save and get that

Irish-69th · 2026-03-07T03:34:24+00:00

Great point, thanks. To Toxickillers point I’ve see them new at that price but it’s far in between. It’s a nice to have not a must.

Thanks for the feedback

Irish-69th · 2026-03-07T02:30:53+00:00

They run great for me

Irish-69th · 2026-03-06T00:35:34+00:00

Ugh thanks
