Yep, that was a good score. I won't say how much I got my MISR Semi Auto for, but lets just say it was absolutely one of the best gun deals I have ever tripped across! Granted it was completely disassembled (to the smallest parts), filthy and greasy in bags, in a box with the barrel receiver when I bought it. It was a crap shoot but I got lucky... I only had to add a muzzle nut, and replace the gas tube and upper handguard spring when I cleaned it up and built it.
Out of the 9 or 10 AKs I have had since the mid-80s (1 Poly-Tech, two Yugo M70s, 2 Romy WASRs, a Hungarian under folder, and 4 assorted restored Saiga's), my MAADI is my second favorite. My first, a Poly Tech type 56 spiker that I had for 15 years before I foolishly sold it when I went out on permanent disability from the Sheriff's Office, was my favorite.
My MAADI is just so AKish, FUGLY but functional in the extreme.
