AK id please

[raymond2688]

i have just come across 2 aks and was wondering id rarety and possibly value
i have attached photos. both are norinco one 556 one underfolder 7.62

first set of photos is 556

[stinker]

I'll leave it to someone better than i to second guess actual value from what i say but these should give you an idea.

Says it all right there. That is the model.
There's one on gunbroker for $729 right now with no bids yet.
Not an unreasonable price but it's new in the box too.

The 7.62 is a 56s-1. That one is a sexy pre-ban ak.
One on gunbroker for $1400 that's been fired.

Yes they look original and un altered. Value will be fairly high as they are Chicom export to US market weapons that were cut off during Bill Clint's presidency. The fixed stock model should be worth 700 to 900 and the folder 1200 to 1400. Higher end if they are new and unfired and the box and paperwork exist. Lower values if they are just the weapons alone and have been fired.

i got both of them in a collection of guns i purchased i got both for 350.00 so i did prety good i see. thanks for all the imput. both guns are as pictured no paperwork or box and im sure they have been fired but very little. i plan on selling them but i do not like gunbroker is there a better place to sell them

[Full Otto]

$350 for both? Were they stolen? Why not gunbroker? Probably get the best price for them there. At that price you can start way low and the bidders are just waiting for deals like that and will run it up good. if not GB another auction place will get you the most.
I don't think that brake on the folder is original, might cause some to think it's been messed with. Does it come off?
I'd try and find a slant brake or thread cover for it then list it somewhere.
Sell it here if you have a price in mind.

[raymond2688]

no they werent stolen i bought a collection of 21 guns and LOTS of ammo. I buy and sell guns i just dont know that much about aks. I am tired of people wanting me to do illegal stuff on gunbroker. everytime i sell a gun 5 out of 10 either send an altered ffl or hound you to send it right to them i deni the sale and still have to pay the fees.

[Full Otto]

Well at that price I'd say you stole those babies. Damn nice grab. I've only had a couple bad bidders there and got the fee's applied back but that is a pain that doesn't have to happen I'll give you that.
Try it here, but we now know what you paid soooo ........How much?
What else did you get? just curious

[raymond2688]

well it really does not matter what i paid for them that is not going to make me sell them for less than they are worth. i make a living doing this. i got 2 sks one has no import markings the other is a short cowboy companion or paratrooper modle. i also got 2 finish m28 mosin nagants one being one of 6000 ski patrol guns. a 1898 springfield krag carbine. some pistols and a few shotguns

thanks everyone for the info

Congrats on one of the best buys I have seen in years!!!!!

The NHM90 is a Post-Bush-ban rifle, and as can be seen by the way it is marked, it used to be an 84S before being deemed too evil for those of us in the land of "shall not be infringed". As stated value can range from $500 and up, but a quick sale can be made in the mid $400s if you ever need the money.

The 56S-1 is a pure pre-ban except for having an AK-74 muzzle brake on an AKM. Even with that, they are selling for over $1000 these days, and if you have the box and papers can be $1200 or more to a collector.

I HATE YOU!!!!! (In a nice way, congratulations on getting two very nice Chinese AK variants!!!!!!)

[raymond2688]

i figured the muzzle brake was wrong i have the right one to go on it. i am very pleased with my find. all the guns but 2 were hi dollar finds i got for cheap. thanks forthe info and all the help.
