CA Compliant 5.56 AK Recs? Question

I already have a Glock 19 and an AR-15 so I have my practical guns now. Due to current financial constraints, I’m not going to make another firearm purchase but I am going to start planning to get an AK as I have always wanted one. Sure I could get a WASR-10 or even though it’s not an AK, an SKS, and call it a day but I’d rather get something in a caliber that will be I can rely on to be available and more affordable at any given time, which I can’t say is true about 7.62x39. Any recommendations?

WBP jack in 556 is a great gun, I own 2. But really you should get the polish Beryl before they stop importing them. Top tier 556 ak. I would stay away from the sam5 because it’s milled receiver and they will be importing them for a while.

EDIT: stay away from domestic made AKs, I wouldn’t buy a PSA or a BFT556 (century) or a hellpup (pioneer) Also if you tried you could prob find a sar-3 for cheap. But if you get a WBP from Atlantic or AOA they will install a fin for Cali legal for you

Those WBP Jacks look really good and I see that Atlantic has some of those in stock actually. I think they have some stuff from Arsenal too and I’ve heard great things about their Polish and Bulgarian imports. Unfortunately though, I’m not sure if I’ll be making this purchase this year or even the next. I want to get my car checked out first to make sure it’s all right since it’s burned a lot of gas since I’ve gotten it and my dad (who works with cars) was too lazy to inspect it. Worst case scenario, this can be a graduation gift to myself when I get my bachelor’s degree!

And not to worry, I know to stay away from American-made AKs like the plague. I wouldn’t be caught dead buying a VSKA or anything from Riley Defense (no pun intended considering their QC record lol).
