I bought an Olympic arms AR15 years ago. It was a very finicky gun that jammed frequently. I ended up dumping it at a gun show for a 200 dollar loss. I didn't care though, just wanted to get rid of it. I had a bunch of magazines for the AR platform and quite a bit of ammo but I decided to not replace the gun with a better quality AR. I decided to move on to only owning M1a's as rifle.
I recently bought an Olympic Ar-15 Upper in 7.62x39. It fires anything, Wolf, Soviet, Bulgarian. No FTF or FTE. The only stuff I have had problems with are East German low power practice ammo. Not enough oomph to cycle the bolt and ejector. So, keep that stuff for my MAK-90 and Soviet SKS which like it.
I regret the first rifle I ever bought, a Springfield M1A. I also regret buying a Sig 556 back when they were going for ~$1,500. If I had that one to do over I'd have just bought a Colt 6920 and a Sig 522 for the same $1,500.
I don't regret buying a RRA lower and a pair of CMMG uppers in 22LR (one with irons and one with a 2-7x scope). I've put something like 18,000 rounds through them, managed a 214 at an Appleseed with it, and been able to keep going to the range as a hobby for years without going broke.
Topher5150, I think that your Yugoslavian SKS gas setting is set on grenade launch.... Push the setting to the other direction, that should correct that issue.
The two guns I seriously regret ever buying are the Msar's StG-556... Copy of the Steyr AUG and the Sig-556 Classic rifle... Nothing "classic" about it!! Tried to sell both at a major loss, but no takers. I guess I'll wait for the next gun-ban scare to push them.

It's a all American Steyr AUG CNC machined out of the finest aircraft grade aluminum and high tech tool steels. SIG 556 ain't got nothing to do with it at all. Microtech closed their MSAR division and are no longer making any firearms as they returned to their bread and butter in automatic knives. I'd hang onto it.....especially if it's NIB like mine is.
