Hi guys, decided to finally get an AK and found this forum from another one. Thought I'd better start reading through these threads. I'm looking to get an AK47, not so much for collecting, more of a shooter, and I'm looking for some advice.
I found this ad from about a year ago:
I've got a M70AB2 parts kit for sale.
So I emailed him and asked him if he still has it, he emailed me back this:
Mmmm, looks like they've gone waaaay up in price on Gunbroker. Tell ya what, if you're willing to drive out here, I'll sell it for the price I paid and throw in the rusty Rommy-G kit for $350. That's less than you'd pay for the just the Yugo anywhere else. Both kits have the original, un-cut, barrels so you won't have to drill or mill them either.
Does this sound like a good deal to you guys or not? What questions should I be asking him?
I know I'd have to build it, and have never done a build before, but I'm willing to try, and actually would rather build one anyways, I like building things... I have a small metalworking company so that might help.
Any ideas on other places to look for recievers, I think for my first one, I'd like to go with pre-bent, hardened, rails installed.
Just trying to figure out how much money I'd be into, and if it's worth it, or should I just buy one built.
