    Stripped Romanian barrel & Romanian push-button folder questions?

    I need to sell these 2 items I have laying around to help pay some bills. My only question is what are they worth these days?

    Item #1 is a stripped Romanian barrel. I picked it up as a spare, but I really have no use for it. Its got some rough marks from when it was pulled. I think it came from an unfired kit as it was full of cosmo when I got it. It easily passes bullet test and the rifling is perfect. No rust anywhere and i've kept a slant break on it to protect the threads.






    Item #2 is a Romanian push-button folding stock with original Romy screws. It was on my SAR-1 for about a year, but a NATO length stock took its place about 2 years ago and it's been sitting in my AK parts bin ever since.




    What would be a fair price on these 2 things?

    I'd tend to agree, although some put a slightly higher premium on the push button folders and they are tougher to find so you might want to start on the higher side for it.

    Really? The stocks are going for 50-70? I've got two I've been thinking of selling. Think I will.

    Supply and demand. Demand is good, supply is not.

    I've seen the Romanian Wire Folders go for over $100. They aren't my favorite stock, but they are serviceable and there's not anymore of them coming into the U.S.

    Where at? I gotta list mine somewhere, haven't built an AK in a while, doubt I'll build anymore with the barrel ban in effect.

    If you're gonna get rid of that Barrel, let me know. I could use it.

    Even though this isint in the for sale forum, the barrel has been sold to Moe. I think I might hold on to the Romy folder until I can figure out what to ask for it since it seems the prices vary on these big time. Thanks for all the input everyone!
