I see people have gone insane with AK prices

This is hilarious 2+ thousand for a Saiga. LMAO old Polytechs cost this much and are way better on all fronts. IMO Arsenal moved away from saiga due to quality issues and went with Bulgarian which are superior to Saigas in every way. I'd take norinco anytime and it's been years since those have been imported. Still good prices on those. People are crazy I laugh every time this happens

In before its "Pasteurized"

Yeah indeed it is nuts . If Saigas are now $2k guns i guess Molots are worth $3k plus. At least the Molot build quality is superb.

When your looking at. 2500 for a saiga 800 is steal on a thumb hole sporter LMAO

I got a Saiga listed for a lot less than $2k.

Just the rifle $800, guess I need to bump that up a grand.

I've had a few AKs now, got a Saiga from classic city and spared no expense in converting it using all kvar parts and a great smith, and in the end I just didn't like it as much as my Arsenals. I even had the proper front sight block put on and still traded it away.

Yep the 90's can still be found, but the 56's I would imagine they're getting pricy too.

ARCman and I were just talking about this the other day. People think their AK's are worth $2000 bc there is a import ban on Russian made parts kits/rifles etc., Arsenal in Vegas does majority if not all their builds using Bulgarian parts and those rifles are the only ones in the $1000+ range worth the money. Sorry, IMHO, goto J&G Sales and order a BNIB Yugo M70B1 and have it sent to your FFL for under $600 with tax & shipping. The Kalash market hasn't really gone anywhere, people just hear a little news on one part of the world not being able to export/import and now their WASR, Saiga etc., has doubled in price

So what makes a Polytech AK better than
an Arsenal SLR 107
Bulgarian Made, with scope mount, 74 break, bayonet lug you cant use bc of the 74 break, synthetic furniture, folding stock and cleaning rod??

the only chinese ak i ever had was a norinco
and i didnt like it bc of the lack of bayonet lug, no cleaning rod, thumbhole stock, and no threaded barrel
