Sell the maddi.(did it come with the certifacte and stuff?) should fetch good numbers. 500/600 ish. Might trade higher lots of folks are wanting Maadi rifles given the unrest there.
Sit on the sar1 if it is nib.

Long barrel is the only strike against the Maadi. Some guys like the paper work that was shipped with the Maadis. It will not do anything for price really. The Sars have a deep following so guys jump on them faster than some other Romanian rifles IMHO.

Semi automatic AKM rifles were/are imported from Egypt. These rifles are mfg. by the Maadi Co. for Engineering Industries Maadi-Cairo,Egypt. The factory was shipped to Egypt lock,stock,and barrel from Russia. The Russian's set up the factory for the Egyptians after they got there arab butts kicked by the jews in the 60's. The pre 1989 ban rifles were only imported by Styer. The post ban rifles were imported by ACC/INTRAC of Knoxville,TN, Pars International Corp. of Louisville,KY and Century Arms International of St. Albins,Vermont.

Bubba's Review:

7.62x39mm Stamped Receiver, "Post Ban rifle" These are one of my favorite AK-47 types.

Manufacturer Description:

The post ban rifles were imported by ACC/INTRAC of Knoxville,TN The model RPM has a 20" barrel that is threaded with a muzzle nut spot welded on. The model RPM rifles have the same diameter barrel as the model ARM just 4" longer. These have a laminated thumbhole stock with a metal buttplate and a spring loaded trap for storing the cleaning kit. Both upper and lower handguards are laminated. Almost all of these rifle had the 2 digit mfg./import date stamped on the side of the rear sight. Barrel diameters were the same for all Maadi regardless of the model or length ARM rifles were imported with 5rd mag,cleaning kit,cleaning rod,manual,sling, and certificate

Sar info.

he Romanian SAR-1 is a stamped AK and does not feature the cut out seen on so many WUM-1 rifles. The rifle also has the side scope mount seen on the earlier versions. The fit and finish of the rifle is much like that of the older sporterized Romanians. The rifle is finished in an eastern block finish that resembles parkarizing. You will also notice the furniture on the rifle is miss-matched the buttstock tends to be light brown where as the handguards are an orange like color. The shooting ability of the SAR ranks "good" among AK's. The Romanian SAR can reportedly obtain groups of 2 inches at 100 yards. Unlike the Maadi MISR you do not need to buy any magazine followers or floor plates for the SAR. The rifle can take ANY type of magazine legally including drums, thus you don't have to worry if you are legal. We are currently looking for personal reviews and experiences with this rifle. Should you have any pictures or personal experience with this rifle please mail them in. webmaster@ak-47.net.
