PSA Sabre-10A1 Forged 16" .308 Mid-Length w/Moss Green Receivers and Burnt Bronze Rail - $1082.99 after code: GUNDEALSMSABRE5

The quality of their AKs seems a lot more variable than their ARs.

PMC X-TAC 5.56x45mm 55gr FMJBT 1000 Rds - $439 w/ Code: GUNDEALS10 + Free Shipping

I got 1000 rounds at Battlehawk armory a couple weeks ago. Priced at 399 plus tax and shipping. Think it came out to about 430 or so at the end. Suggest keeping an eye on them for the next time they drop that special.

IFG Tanfoglio Force Combat 9mm 4.4" 16rd Semi-Auto Pistol - $558.88 + Free Shipping

Thanks - I appreciate the info and will keep at it. I’ll also look back into CZ replacing with some CZ parts.
It’s been a struggle, so glad to hear someone out there has some appreciation. Fingers crossed I can find the same experience.

SOPMOD AR-15 Lower Build Kit - $69.95

That's a tacfire sopmod not a b5, buffer tube is 6061, and trigger is not schmid. Probably all cheap tacfire parts that ar15 discounts and midway like to white label as house brands. Worth payimg a little more to get better parts.

Mossberg CBC 715T Tactical 22 LR 16.25" 25-Rds Semi-Automatic Flat Top Rifle with Red Dot - $269.99

Get a Ruger 10/22 and modify the stock and chassis. Sure it'll cost a bit more but these are cheap plastic junk. Simply their $129 .22 rifle but inside a cheap toy like plastic frame...
If you don't want to spend money and time modifying a 10/22 then here is probably the best AR22 within the same price range but with much better quality and reliability for $319.
