I was thinking about trading my Mossberg 590a1 for a Wasr 10 AK47, deal or no deal?
I have a used but in excellent condition 590a1 fired to try it out maybe 10 times. I also mounted a 200 lumen flashlight to the mag tube with a momentary cord setup that cost about 80 bucks, also never really used. I think I paid $400 or so plus tax 2.5 years ago for the gun alone.
A guy on backpages is willing to trade what he claims is a never fired Aromanian WASR 10 which had wood but now is all black furniture. It appears from pics he also put a couple of picatinny rails on top rear and forward which I like so as to put a red dot or holographic sight on.
The primary purpose of my shotgun was of course home defense, and thankfully I have never used it. Now whenever I hear a bump in the night, I tend to reach for my pistols instead, so I wonder if they are of greater value to me than the shotgun. My guns are a glock 27 and SA XD9. I also have a hi point 9mm carbine with a red dot set dead on a 25 yards, so there is that home defense option as well.
I also live in a condo currently with neighbors on either side and sometimes above, so again the shotgun's power comes into question. Now of course with neighbors, the pistols may be more problematic than the shotgun chambered with heavy birdshot or the Remington 2x4 mixture currently loaded. And I certainly would not use the AK for home defense.
I feel valuewise I may be getting a good deal, but am I losing the best home defense option I currently have? Thanks for you input.
