Look on the EE and your local gun boards. I found another one friday for $475 NIB. Scooped it up.

The new batches will be over 500 each from distributors. If you dont think so ask people who followed saigas from the $199 any model from when they came out to the $700 a new for a 12ga now. Pass up all the 475 nib dracos so me and 37bullet can buy them all! Next year when they are 700 each ill sell you one for 225 profit.

As a FFL holder century is charging me $449. Just a little food for thought.

how are they charging you 449 they haven't been in stock for a while? well i'd still rather pay 500 for a new one versus the same price for a used one that someone bought for 300 bucks. i have a buddy who is an FFL so i won't be paying some ripoff price from scumbags looking to cash in on chicken little syndrome

The word I got is that regular Dracos are still coming in, but presently not in large amounts and back orders are a priority. No word or certainty right now on large amounts in the future.

You dont seem to understand nib means new in box! So like we have all been telling you if you find one for 475 shipped thats nib(that means new in box for you newbie) buy it, or dont so those of us that seem to actually now thingscan buy it.

What good is a NIB Draco that is a year old & has no warranty? My co worker has a friend who works for Century right here in Delray Beach. According to him, they haven't received any Draco's in a long time. The rumor was a big shipment was coming in April, but it's June now, & no shipment arrived, or we'd have some at the store. So it may be worthwhile to wait for a new shipment of Draco's that will have a full one year warranty, as any Draco being sold now, left Century a long time ago, [ no warranty] but yes could still be new [unfired] in the box.

i've been owning and shooting AKs for 20 years,i'm not noob by any means. i know what NIB means smart guy. the fact that these guys bought them for 329 and are selling used Dracos for 475 no way will i buy a used "NIB" Draco.

So you expect to buy a showroom condition 67 corvette for under 8,000 because thats what they were new in 1967? Enjoy the wait and please update the thread when they are instock and you dont pay 329. I just canned some fresh " i told ya so" and ill pop the top off then.

we're not talking about 1967,we're talking less than a year ago,your comparison is fucking retarded. i have no problem waiting and buying a new one from my dealer for the going rate,but im not paying jacked up prices to price gouging assholes who have had the gun sitting in their basement for a year or two

I built this Draco.
I bought it at Classic Arms 2 years ago for $350 + $50 shipping+$25 transfer at my FFL. 
I've been on the lookout for another for the last couple of months. I found one friday for $475 shipped new in box with 3 mags. Guy sent me pics. Rear sight is canted. (So is my SBR) Don't care. Warranty? Not worried about it. Its an AK- rivets and pins. Never seen one that didn't go bang. I'm willing to pay a little extra ($50) to to get this thing in my hand now. I know, I'm a loser.  |

Century has received a couple shipments this year. I have bought from two shipments and just turned down a third because of the $449 price.

With the supply issues Century is having, it is highly unlikely prices for a regular Draco will ever go back down to $329.

I know we are talking "full size" Draco's here but whats the deal with the mini's. I mean seriously crazy prices I'm seeing out there. And they called me nuts for ponying up $500 & change for mine. Makes me seriously consider selling it.

Makes me seriously consider selling it. They didn't bring in many Minis and there are no more on the horizon. That does not mean that in the future there will not be more from CAI or possibly another importer one day, but for now they are going to be difficult to find and pricey. |
