Is this worth checking out?  Seems cheap for an AK these days.  I just don't know how to evaluate these guns.  Anybody have any input?

It's worth checking out. That's a Romanian Guard rifle with the donkey d***. You will want to inspect it first for barrel condition, sight cant and overall condition.  Some of those have original hammer forged chrome lined commie barrels on them.

If there aren't any obvious issues, is it priced reasonably?  I can check overall barrel condition, but are there any visual indicators to determine barrel type?

Got a bunch more pictures via email.  I don't see anything that concerns me too much.  Childers Guns is stamped on the receiver just in front of the trigger.  Mean anything?

Me too. Unregistered user and the state is listed twice instead of an actual city = 99% a scam. Here's the original listing on Guns America. Did the extra pics that he sent match these:

ETA: His other listing is also a previous Guns America listing:

Gee whiz, why wouldn’t he mention, at the very least, the receiver manufacturer? That’s very important to AK guys. “High quality military spec parts” LOL

Yep, same pics.  Fun while it lasted.  Went back and forth half a dozen times via email.  His location changed, and he offered to ship it to my dealer.  I said great, how do you expect payment.  Has since gone dark.

Well, I wouldn't be interested in low quality commercial spec parts.
