Get an AK-74. Very cheap to shoot right now.

Agreed. Should be able to pick one up at the 1500 for around $400. Ammo and magazines are cheap. Easy to tear down and endless customization

Actually for a bit more, I suggest a Norinco MAK-90 for the simple reason that if you are not yet into the AK/AKM then you need one that is 100% right out of the box. The WASR-10 while a very good inexpensive AKM variant isn't guaranteed to be 100%. Some do need a little tweeking to get them proper.
