I love the look of the fixed stock maadis. I'm newer to AKs. And for the life of me I cannot find any places selling maadis. Are they not imported anymore? Only ones I can find are private market and the prices are marked up so ridiculously Id never consider it.

You're correct.  Egyptian-built Maadis haven't been imported since the 90s, thus the market demand and premium prices.

To further muddy the water, there were a few different importers and configurations.  Barring a pre-ban Steyr (now exclusive to the collector's market), the most desirable post-ban versions are the Intrac or Pars ARM with the thumbhole stock and welded muzzle nut.  Prices between $700 - $800 are the norm these days.  After you add Egyptian military stocks, you're easily close to $1,000.  If you find one with the extra Y in the receiver, add a few hundred bucks more.  

The Atlantic versions are rebuilds from the demilled Egyptian parts kits that flooded the market for a few years.

The prices aren't likely to decrease on any of them.  Good luck, and keep us posted!
