Egyptian Maadi AK info?

[gunner1982]

I picked on up the other day and I don’t know anything about them. I am not an AK expert.

Found this online -
made in Egypt
ACC/INTRAC Knoxville,TN imported Maadi rifles from 1993-1995
Imported models the ARM and RPM both with thumbhole stocks. The model ARM had a 16.34" barrellength with the end theaded with a muzzle nut tack welded on. There was a factory set up using Russian machines and Russian trained machinists.
I saw there are a lot of fans because it’s a “close clone” of the Russian AK.

What are they worth?
any info on these?

Here are a couple pics.

Post ban import. Threaded muzzle cover comes off once you break the weld.
Lousy paint. Good rifle. Worth some bucks. Actual a Russian rifle build on Russian equipment in Egypt.

Any idea what that is or means under the rear sight?

Is that the factory marking or something?

pretty much what others say. good rifle and ****ty paint. I cant remember exactly which are which and they are some significantly more desired Maadi's than others.

The early ones that were built by the russian on russian tooling in Egypt are pretty vaulable as they are as close to a legit russian ak as you could get.
