Is $400 a fair price to pay for this AK-47 outfit?

If it's in good shape...finish is good and bore is crisp....it's a deal, GET IT!!!!

Even at wholesale price for the rifle plus the extras you are at well over $400.

I would recommend getting a bill of sale, names and address of buyer and seller, model and serial number, date and signatures. I do this as a normal course of buying and selling and it makes for good records. Handwritten is fine. Also, if the guy gets squirrely about giving you a bill of sale....... you know to walk away from the deal.

Good luck and happy shooting!

(BTW....AKs and SKSs are used by hunters in lots of places for whitetail...they make great rainy day guns.)

For $400.00 you can buy a top quality AK 47. The Romys are not top quality and usually sell for between $200 and $300. If no scope is with it, no. See if he'll talk down some on price. The AK 47 is an extremely hardy and reliable rifle and accurate enough to do most jobs. It's not for long range shooting, but does what it was designed for quite well. It was produced (by default) by the most countries and no other rifle comes close to the number of them built, possibly approaching 25,000,000 or more AK-47s built since 1947, the year of it's adoption by the Soviet Union. The Yugoslavian model is the most improved and produced with superior materials on modern machinery. It's the 'top of the line'.

The price is good. But I'd have little enough desire to hunt with one. Most states require that your deer rifle not hold more than 5 rounds when deer hunting. You'd have to find or modify a magazine to make it legal to hunt with in those states.

Also most AK type rifles have lackluster accuracy. If you get one that holds under 4" at 100 yards it's a real keeper. I much prefer a bolt action for hunting. But that is admittedly personal preference.

Good luck

When you switch on the information and you listen to a tale about an innocent household being attacked in their house, do you feel secure? If this make you think after that you must pay a look right here https://tr.im/rTrKm , a website that will show you how you can protect you and your household.

Patriot Self Defense system is successful for 2 primary factors. The very first is that it utilize simple steps integrated from all the very best fighting styles around. The second is that the makers of this program didn't stop there, they took these steps right into the lab and ran all form of scientific tests to generate as much information as possible prior to readying to function to evaluate this data and put together a clinical industrialized protection system that quite honestly revolutionizes the industry.

Don't forget, if you're in different states, you'll have to pay FFL fees too (~$50 to $100, depends on what your local FFL decides to charge). You might end up paying more than it's worth. Also, you didn't say what type of receiver (stamped, milled, ...). Romy AK's are pretty cool, but if I was gonna get a Romy, I'd build a 922r compliant one myself. EDIT: FFL fees would include the FFL in his state and the FFL in your state. It would be nice to know how much that is before you bid on this AK as you're entering into a contract when you place that bid.

Hunting deer with an AK-47? never heard of it... try a nice rifle(Remington) instead if you want to go hunting, and where would you use the AK? unless you have at least a few acres then theres no use of getting one. Other than that then, yeah $400 is pretty good. Have fun...i guess.

It's a good deal and after you buy it start looking for someone who will trade an M-14 semi for it. There has to be some liberal out there somewhere who prefers the Communist caliber regardless of the ballistics, and the American .308 stomps 7.62x39 Russian.

I would say that is a fair price considering new they go for $300-$400 without all the accessories. I paid $325 for my Romanian, even though it isn't the best AK clone available it still performs flawlessly and has fired several thousand rounds without any problems.

Key words......."well, you know....I just want one." That says it all more than anything else. I wish more people would post those words. If I did not want a gun or had no fun with them, I would have never handed over all that cash!

the bare gun is worth $400 in the semi auto version and much more in full auto but in full auto you better have all the paperwork, tax stamps, and transfers.
