Seriously the only members of the AK family I like are the RPK, the Yugo models(Although I like chrome bores), and any Galil varient.

The reason why I hear that the Yugo's went a thicker reciever on their AK was because of the grenade launching.

I'd actually take the AKM over the Type 56. Even though I'm Chinese, I prefer the AKM or even the 103 because

1. The StG-style straightline stock would help reduce muzzle rise.
2. The muzzle brake
3. It's lighter
