Although the ammo seems to still be cheaper than 5.56 ammo.
7N6 (military surplus) ammunition was banned by the ATF last year, but there is a bill working its way through the US house that would repeal that ban.
AK-74's aren't really any more expensive than an AK-47 these days. Just depends on what you want to get out of it.
