Does anyone know the current value of a Romanian AK74 front sight base with the threads and the bayonet lug is?  Looks like this, but with detent and front sight post installed.  



Thank You,

I bought the last one(Stripped NIW) from KVAR a few years ago for ~$120.  There hasn't been a reliable retail source for these since.  Secondary market is up in the air.

This thread recently came out and an aftermarket threaded bushing seems to be a very affordable alternative:

I'd estimate value somewhere in the $120-150 realm depending on condition and if you have a buyer that is willing to pay for authenticity.

Thank You.  I have done a few for customers with the bushings.  I picked up 3 of the real deal back when they where reasonable.  I used one on my rifle, one on a friends, and I recently discovered the other one in one of my parts boxes.  I am short on funds for a personal project.  It is so sad that we always can do for customers, but when it comes to our own projects we have to find ways to pay for it.  I had heard they where worth a little bit.  Maybe I will throw it on the EE here and another board and see how it goes.

Thank You again.
