Maadi Needs Work

[recon]

If the price stays low it would be a good buy.

Looks about normal for a maadi, it's probably threaded under the nut

It is! You can see the spot weld.

Looks like a normal Maadi ARM that someone did a poor number on a Bush-hole stock to refinish it and make it appear to have the separate pistol grip.

Assuming it is an ARM based on the importer, it would have threads under the muzzle nut.

Good buy if the price stays down.

Price is at $530 at the moment.Some new furniture on the rear, break the tack weld and clean it up a bit and it'll be good as new. Or alternatively, cut that ugly "pistol grip" away from what was the thumbhole stock and slap a new pistol grip on there.

Sounds good to me but price is getting to the point where I think I'd switch and go after that "y" receiver also listed if I was really in the market
Has a reserve I know but same effort of work with a better rifle. Probably kind of pricey but think I'll watch that one a little

It's over priced right now. $805.

What kind of fool pays $800 for a beat to hell postban AK?
