I have a Saiga. Sorry, I mean my wife has a Saiga.
Personally, I wouldn't get a 223 AK for myself for the reasons already given.....finding reliable mags. Reason I got the 223 AK was the wife - it has almost zero recoil, cheap, easy to clean, durable and should be reliable with the Galil mags/bullet ramp. Later, my girls will learn to shoot it too.
If KK was my dad, I would have just bought an AR for her. Oh wait....I did buy her an AR but I thought it was an okole to clean and sold it to KK.
