Great choices! Especially now that the 1960s 'Holy Trinity' is dead /old-in-the-tooth. Love your list FG, as here's where we get to the true modern Holy Trinity.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the AK-06 was limited to a certain number of pieces and isn’t being made anymore.

Haha thanks.

There’s so many great independents out there right now. The only issue is availability and cost.
