I say get a Norinco MAK 90. Those rifles were actually designed to be used by illiterate peasants in the jungles of south east Asia. When they shipped them over to the U.S. they had to do a bunch of stuff to them so they would be neutered. But at heart, they are rifles designed for combat under adverse situations, with a emphasis on durability and longevity.

You'll spend a little money and some effort converting them from sporters to something more familiar and 922r compliant, but this is a gun that was still being cranked out in the eighties as a weapon to be used against the "Capitalist Oppressors" to usher in a new age for the "Workers of the World".
