| The main reason why they bought the Chi-Com arms is because of training. Almost everyone there knows how to use the AK series rifle. Russia produces them, but they charge more cash for theirs. And $100 for a Ak is actually a good price. The civilian semi-auto copies go for $399.00. When you train on something for thirty years and then switch to another system the next day. You are going to have a lot of problems.
Also, a Ak chambered in 5.56X45mm is a pain in the butt for the Iraqi military. Becuase they have millions of 7.62X39mm ammo lying around. I sell some of those .223 chambered Aks and in my opinion. they suck. Just like the 7.62X39mm AR-15s. You have to get special magazines, not everyone uses it. I cost more money. So on and so forth.
