I have a Bulgie Mak and love it. I carried it for years, without nary a hiccup.
For the AK round if I want an attempt at accuracy without spending a ton of money I would go for an SKS. You don’t get as many rounds but the ones I have shot have been more accurate than the AK’s. I personally prefer an M1 Garand or G3.
