My take is if you want an AK, get an AK or an XCR.
Yep, RA has issues, but the gun is a true inheritor of the AK traction that's truly modernized, but keeps the simplicity of the gun.
I own both, XCR is as solid as the AK with far better layout as well as controls that are world class (no one has matched them yet, some have picked off one feature or the other).
