Sorry if this has been posted before.
For those that don't know www.akforum.net is offering a Special Edition Rifle which is an outstanding deal by any measure. A Hungarian SA-85 AKM (excellent condition kit) build by INRANGE, the same well-known builder responsible for the recently completed SEAK III on this very forum. The price is only $450, a little more than what folks are paying for WASRs these days and less than the going rate for Vectors. The following is from the description on www.akforum.net. Check it out. "...50 excellent condition kits. NoDak / DCI will be contacted for 50 "Economy" type AK receivers, Arsenal has been chosen for their stainless steel "match grade" gas piston, and finished off with the Gordon Tech G2 Double Hook FCG. The US muzzle nut or slant brake has yet to be determined." |

Oh man i really want to buy one. I'm waiting for my registration on the forum to go through

No slam at all at Vector, a company that produces a great rifle and probably has more experience builiding AK's than anyone else in the U.S., but keep in mind that with Vector you are getting a mix of parts from many differing kits (usually Hungarian/Polish parts).
The rifle being offered at www.akforum.net comes from a single kit with matching parts. Plus it's being build by one of the elite AK builders in this country. Just a few months ago folks on this site were paying close to $900 for the SEAK III build by INRANGE. |

Maybe it's because I've recently become inmersed in the history of Hungarian AK's but has anybody else noticed the large number of Hungarian AK's in the hands of Iraqi militiamen? A ton of Romanians also and some chinese.
The Palestinians on the other hand seem to carry stamped underfolders almost exlusively along with some Hungarian AMD-65's. I think it was Arafat or some other big shot who said he was building "a democracy of rifles". |

It's not everyday you see "Match Grade" written in a an AK post. Not to shit on your post, it just struck me funny. B_S |
|
|
I know what you mean "match grade" has to be taken with a huge grain of salt, just like "new and improved". |

I had one of the SA85 kits built a few months back,I own 16 AKs and the SA85 is as accurate as my Arsenal Classic.There is one more week to place your order,don't miss out!

Match Grade makes your AK as accurate as an AR. That's what I heard from my NAVY SEAL friend. We are best buds, so he always shares top secret information with me.
|
|
Does match grade gas piston have anything to do with accuracy? Just out of pure curiosity... |
|
|
Arsenal lists it as Match Grade. I have one in my Intrac and it doesn't seem to make a differance in accuracy, it's a just a better machined piston from what I can tell ... |
|
|
I ordered one
A custom had picked and built AK for $450...old school looking and everything. What a country! |
|
It's just a marketing "tool" to call the gas piston match grade. It will function just like the rest of them. Of course 'without' any extra accurracy.

|
Ordered mine last week......$450.00 well spent! Dont miss this one guys....3/26/06 coming fast!
|
|
Well worth the $$$...too bad I'm in "the sandbox" right now...I'm missing out on a Hell of a rifle at a great price.
|
|
I agree. The AK can only be so accurate. But we did try and source the best possible components we could for this rifle, and keep the price as low as we could. If someone was to purchase all the parts and have a smith put it together, it could run over $600.00 This one comes complete for only $450.00 |

"No man gets left behind" Contact Troy Sellars via email at: [email protected] Give him your payment info, and he will keep the rifle in the shop until you return from the sandbox. Shipping details can be worked out after you return. KF |
|
|
yup, and i get paranoid about my order being lost in the mail. |
|
|
We are going to keep taking orders until 26 March.
If you want a SER, print and mail your order form. Send InRange an email and tell them your order form is on the way: [email protected] No man gets left behind. |
|
The cut off point is fifty though. That's all I have parts for.
Thanks, Troy |

It's a complete rifle, built and refinished from a kit by Troy at InRange. |
|
|
They look nice but not giving up mine with a real FEG receiver!
Interesting about Grade A / B wood. When I ordered two months ago they told me that all wood was the same. Great Deal to all that purchased! |
|
Deadline for orders is this Sunday.
If you have not mailed it, fax it. InRange will be picking up kits on Monday Morning. |
|
I got 1 on order.....bump to let other know that the Deadline is SUN.
|
|
**NEED HELP** I registered at the AK forum to be able to get involved in this deal and put on the list. I got sent an under 13 approval form? Now I cant get on nor contanct anyone.

Dale,I figured you'd know where I was!This pic was taken,just up river from Gee Creek campground on the Hiwassee River.The National Park Service closed two of the three ranges and spent alot of money on the third,its nice but you have to drive wayyyyyyyyy up in the Mountains to get there!
|
|
Beautiful pics, I need to move somewhere with that kind of natural beauty - city life has gotten old and I miss the 'oustide' world.
Where do you get that Hungarian ammo? |
|
The latest over there is a picture of the guys looking for hand picked kits!
I'm number 30 in the deal. It's going to be cool watching them be built. I'm stoked and I'm not sure I know what that even means being from the central part of the country! |
|
I'm going on 47 and definitely need glasses! Didn't eat enough carrots, I guess. |
