There is no particular collector interest in the gun now that it has been permanently modified. However, it's still an FEG SA85M and as such will always be valuable to those who are looking for a straight, factory-built AK. SA85Ms came with matching bolt carrier, bolt and action cover. The other numbers may or may not match. As long as the action cover is authentic Hungarian, the wrong number would have no bearing on value in the gun's modified condition. The important matching parts are the bolt carrier and bolt.

I agree w/saxman. Mine matches except for the gastube. Great shooters all the same.

I sold it, found one for $700 with matching numbers. With my correct style gasblock front sight base and stock set the only thing that will be missing is Kassnar on the side

I sold my KBI post ban that is all matching and debanned with correct muzzle and gas tube that I got while I was in Hungary.
The guy bought it for 1k USD and he was happy with it. |

Is the muzzle brake correctly positioned? Looking down the barrel, is the venting portion at an angle or horizontal?
And don't forget the cleaning rod. By far the most missing item IMO from any post-ban, specifically the ones that were totally filed away under the FSB/GB rather than just the ears. AK's just don't look right without them...you must acquire before Christmas. With the rod in place, I'd say it looks great. I wish mine looked half as good converted. |

It has to be correct if the indexing plunger is in the notch of the brake, and I see the plunger in the pic. By the way, I did the same thing on mine, and when I took it to the range, the slant brake threw the shots high/right, and there were no signs of bullet strike on the brake. I made the sight adjustment but wasn't satisfied with it, so I put on an AMD65 brake which allowed me to put the sight back to the factory marks. Since then, I have put it in AK63 configuration with a muzzle nut, but I haven't checked the sighting yet. |
