Hi. I'm another new bloke lookin for an ak
I'm looking to get an AK47 for my collection and wanted some advice. I've been looking into getting one of the Arsenal Saigas and there is one locally that I've been torn over. It is a Arsenal SGL31-61 in like new shape with less that 100 rounds through it (supposedly) comes with the factory mag, 30 rd mag and a sling. Its priced at $750 out the door.
The problem is I have always had a more romantic relationship with firearms than a practical one. This one is a 74 and I'd much rather have a 47 with wood furniture. My question is, is this a good price for this gun? Could I buy it, then possibly trade for an Arsenal 47 and just get some new furniture for it? I Don't mind spending the $750 for it but I'd like something that will hold its value and still be a fun shooter.
Also... How can I tell the difference between an Arsenal Saiga and one of the $345 saigas at cabelas? The gun is quite a drive away so I'd like to know before I make the trip. Any info helps sorry if this thread is redundant, I looked around best I could for the info. Thanks!
