    Saw a rare one out in the wild today, and YOU can own it.

    Walked into the local shop today and saw them messing with an 842 side folder. Story is the guy that had it died so his wife is selling off his collection. Pretty good shape, with no box BUT they have 11 spare mags to go with it.

    Already listed on gunbroker

    Owner said he would sell the rifle with all the mags for $2500.

    So is he listing the extra mags separately? What are the mags worth each, $75-$100?

    He's planning on selling the mags after the rifle, though he'd sell them together.

    I know this is a buzz killer but my 2 cents is take the money and build 2 good AR15 piston driven carbines and stick some Aimpoint PRO sights on them. Then go get 20 mags, 10 per rifle and have money left over.

    Considering the 84S-2 as not officially imported into the land of shall not be infringed, the 84S-5A is not only the next best thing but one of the rarest of Norinco AK variants. While $1500 is a stretch even in today's dollars for the rifle with bayo and just one mag, and nothing else, who would have dreamed the MAK-90 that was once almost impossible to give away is now selling for $600 and up.

    Even crazier is what the asking price has been for the 84S magazine, and worse for the Poly Tech AKS-223 magazine!

    Still have mine! Plus the mags to go with it. Actually that's not a bad price for that.
