For that price best thing is to find a nice package on these forums with some mags!

EBB are ehhhhhhhhhhhhh.
For gas blowback AKs, look for the VFC or TM ones. The GHKs are a massive gamble, and other brands are just kinda ass.

I know you said they're a massive gamble, but it's not even worth the gamble with the TM and VFC AK's on the market now. If only VFC made a fixed stock AKM...

I have a TM AKM and it's great. Shoots like a dream and is very efficient. I'll get a wood kit for it eventually, but my MWSs took priority.

I'd wait for used, they come up pretty often and they don't tend to have huge issues unless someone has "upgraded" it with loads of aftermarket junk.

I hate to say it but it depends as EBB isn't universal. I've used NGRS in AKs and M4s/416s and I was very fond of it though GBBR puts a bigger smile on my face.
There is EBB in different flavours by other brands and some are less efficient and even risk damaging the gearbox over prolonged use compared to AEGs without EBB - some people disable mock bolt-based EBB for the sake of preserving their AEG.

At the risk of derailing the OPs thread, how do they compare to GBBRs? I'm a recent GBBR convert, to the extent that my previously entirely satisfactory AEG no longer interests me, despite its obvious benefits in the cold.
I know an EBB is never going to match a gas powered BCG, but are the NGRS options good enough to make it feel less like an AEG and more like a GBBR?

IME they still felt like an AEG to shoot and the mechanism was just another thing to break. They still make AEG noises.
It's like, slightly better to shoot but it doesn't feel like recoil at all. It feels like someone taped a rampant rabbit to your receiver.

I personally think EBB is still much closer to AEG. It gives some recoil but the trigger response and operation simply don't feel the same(especially recoil AEGs tends to be even more sluggish than normal AEGs). Even the least realistic WE/MWS system feels a bit more like playing with a gun.
But of course, AEG offers more variety. Almost every non-AR gbbr and some AR GBBR has some sort of issues which can be annoying.
