Hmmm, "pre-ban" Bulgarian? Have not seen many Bulgarian's imported prior to 1989.
Perhaps you meant, in pre-ban configuration, as it has the US parts installed to have a pistol grip? In any case, that's about the going rate for a Bulgy AK variant. |

There are no Bulgie prebans that I know of. If it's a pistol grip config, then I'll hazard a guess it's a plastic made in USA job. If so, why? I thought it was a preban.
It's probably a SA-93, with a milled receiver. A decent price for one is $475, but $510 seems ok if you get to skip FFL fees and shipping. But search the for sale ads for SA-93 for a comparison. |

No No No No [b] NO! [/b]
Save your money. In a couple of months there will be a LEGP AK from the board that will be way nicer and not much more scratch. Nothing wrong with bulgies, I've owned several, and they are in fact some of the best out there. Then again, the LEGP AK will make it pale in comparison. Trust me, it will be worth the wait! |

Couple of months? Muahahaha.
Other than the AR15.com insignia, it will likely be a rifle that anyone could purchase, and assemble. Unless Castle goes with a custom AK builder to do something special. Quoted: No No No No [b] NO!

If it IS a Hungarian preban, jump all over it. Maybe the seller is an ignorant hick or just desperate for money, but more likely it's the Bulgie postban.

I dont think there are any Hungarian prebans either. All the Hungarians I have seen have the butthole stock... abthough the Hungarian wood is the most beautiful of all of them.
If it has a pistol grip installed, MAKE SURE you confirm somehow it had all the required US parts. I would be very careful whenever purchasing an AK already having been converted.... |

FALARAK, if it were just some hohum rifle with an AR15.com logo on it I wouldn't be pushing for it nor would I stake my good name on praising it.
It will not, [b] REPEAT NOT [/b], be a run of the mill AK that you could buy just anywhere. |

You guys just answered a few questions about my Bulgie,milled,black plastic AK....$400 and worth it! I love the hell outta this gun...And Oh yeah...the LEGP will be on my list. I know the Castle guys will do their thing well. Too bad the AR companies are playing mind AND $$$ games with AR15.commers on pricing and availibility. Their loss. I feel for ya antiussa & Hiram...those AR guys suck at relaying good PR. IMHO....

FALARAK, Castle Arms is putting it together and anti was good enough to bring me on board a bit and share some of their ideas. When it comes time to get this really rolling I will be fully briefed in and it will be my job to serve as the go between for the board members and the guys at Castle. I'll be providing the answers to your questions and relaying feedback to the Castle Arms team.
Believe me, I don't associate my name with something unless I believe in it, and after talking to Anti I trust he is going to put together something truly unique and worthy of the AR15.com insignia and title LEGP. I will be the [b] FIRST [/b] to scream bullshit if Castle Arms tries to slide a hohum rifle off as the LEGP. I think people around here know that I'm pretty stand-up and a good judge of character... well with the possible exception of my former fiance ;). You will know the configuration and likely see a sample (pics at least) before you are asked to send in money. If it isn't what you have been led to expect, nobody is going to hold a gun to your head and make you buy one. This is however an opportunity to create something truly unique. Perhaps one of the most unique AK designs in existence. Anyway, stay tuned, and I look forward to working with you and the folks of Castle Arms in making this project a success. |
