I got one today for $450. Muzzle nut was hacked, but the threads and muzzle are untouched. Handguard screw was missing as well. Looks fine other than that. Nothing but the gun and one 30 round Romanian mag. About 500 rounds fired. I think I did well considering I'm about 2 years late to the party

The wankers out here are trying to get 750-900 for a private sale. I saw a dealer the other day asking 600 for a Draco. I dont think they are selling but they still try.

1000 came in. Many of them are now or will soon be SBRs. There are no more on the way and no plans to bring more. Assuming they don't, what should the price be?

I was actually asking about the Mini's value.
But, the regular draco,there's a shitload of them floating around now.I picked one up NIB for $500.00 just to have another AK.For $500.00,lots of fun,it's cool,and still cheaper than most handguns. In another six months ,there probably won't be any around again.Then,everyone will be crying for one. |

Only 1000 Mini Draco's were imported? Is there a reason no more will be coming in, besides the crappy design of foregrip and screw?

The non-sbr Minis I've seen being sold online are in the $1,000 - 1,200 range. That doesn't mean they're selling at that price, but that's what their owners want.
If no more are ever imported, I can see the Minis becoming collectible guns one day. I hope so. but I have no intention of selling mine. |

If thats the case what happens to the value of a mini after modding it? Left side charging handle or SBRing one.

For most people it would lower the value because now you have to find a buyer who wants those exact features. I bought an extra Mini when they were $299 as a donor gun for the one I made into an SBR. So now my donor gun is probably the more valuable of the two. It does not matter much because I will not be selling either one. If they go up in value- great. If in the future they bring in so many that the price goes back down to $300, I will still enjoy them just the same. My Mini SBR has become my favorite gun to take to the range. |

I knew when I sent in the form 1 as an Individual, then had my name engraved on it, that I wasn't selling the Mini Draco.

yeah, im not going to lie, id like to have one, my thoughts have been "well, id sure like a nice cheap gun to throw in my truck with a 30 round magazine of something heavy caliber, that is compact"
and well, i kept thinking (this is probably 14 months now) that i should look into getting a mini draco.......and well here I am......and what a shock. i thought i might be out 600 TOPS! and now it no longer looks like its going to fill that role of "cheap"  |

Cool! Are those krinks? They look shorter than the Draco, but longer than the Mini. They also have the hinged top cover, with the sights. Sure looks like a krink. |

It depends on who's definition of "krink" you go by. The barrels are 10", which is 1.5" shorter than a standard Draco but 2.5" longer than a Mini Draco. An honest to God AKSU, which many believe to be the ONLY REAL krink, has an 8" barrel, but since the Serbs (Yugo) never produced an 8" version I guess you could call these a special edition krink. Keep in mind that practically none of the parts interchange between the Serb M92/M85 and the Russian/Bulgarian AKS-74U. |

I got mine at a Local Fun Show a few years back. I have been more than happy with it as it has been 100% reliable and as accurate as I hit what I aim at. Recoil is no more than any AK in 7.62X39. I do not feel under armed with it. I swear I will SBR it some day. I would like to put an AK 100 folder on it. Anyone in the DFW area do this kind of work?
