A lot of misinfomation .
As to the Russians not buying any more AK74s , in the budget , thats not because they are dumping the rifle , ITs because they have enough in stock ( to satisfiy Army requirements ) , not to need to make more .
As to the AN-94 , yeap saw them about 7 yrs ago in Russia , talked to the head of testing a retired Col , he said they where basically , hand built , due to high cost & small numbers ordered my their Military (only 200-300 made a yr ) , I think the AN94 was around 8-12x the cost of a AK74 , and I would pick its not 8-12x the weapon the 74s .
Get a good one of both , and with in their own niches , they are both good , they are dissimilar however .
7.62x39mm AKs , shoot between 2-6 inches at 100 yds , most around 4-6 moa , real good ones can shoot 2 moa or better , I know as I have 2 that do , they are Russian made and are basically AK74Ms in 7.62mm .
The AK74 model , has a couple of features , most now nothing about , both are big improvements , bolt/carrier ratio is better , as the 74 bolt is thinner around the shaft , also the extractor is much stronger .
The side folding stock of the 74 series , realy works well .

Yep, the reason for the misinformation is why I went to a closer source for clarification. The (as it turns out) rumors floating around made it seem worse than it actually was.
