Hey Guys - Can I ask a couple of questions here, I would appreciate any advice.
I'm a long time AR fan, love my Garands, but one thing I don't have is any kind of AK platform. I know this is about the worst time to be looking for one, but you see I live in Colorado, and I feel like I need to get one like, now.
So as I browse through Armslist and Gunbroker at listing after listing for $2000 Romanians, the SAM7R sitting at $1299 starts to look a little better. I guess what it comes down to is, if I'm going to drop that kindof cash on an AK, I would like it to be at least somewhat justified. Questions:
1. How inflated is $1299 for this rifle. I have seen some indications that it was around the $1000 range before the SHTF, but I never found anything solid. I don't mind paying a little too much during this crap, but there are limits to that and I don't want to pay WAY too much, if you know what I mean.
2. I have read a lot of positive reviews of the SLR 101, but search results for the SAM7R are pretty slim, these are the same rifle correct? I'm trying to figure out why they would change the name, if nothing on the rifle actually changed.
3. Lastly, is K-var good to go for ordering this rifle?
Thank You for any help you may offer,
NB
