I know someone selling a maadi. I dont know a ton about them but its marked 1988 on the receiver. Is that the year it was made? He attached a bipod to the handguard and that HAS to go and hopefully hasn't ruined the original wood. Can anyone tell me if this is a correct preban styer? Or is there a mix match of parts here? I dont have the gun in my possession right now. Should be able to get more pictures this weekend

Thanks!!

Worth more normally. True preban import. Check Gunbroker sold prices. Ask on AKFiles.

A Maadi is a Maadi.  You can still shoot and enjoy a preban Steyr Maadi.  But to answer your question the last one I had I sold for $3k and that was BEFORE AK prices went nuts.  I have no idea where they are now.  The last post ban Maadi I bought (A PARS Import that has been debanned and has Egyptian AK furniture) I paid $1k for - still have that one and it's not likely going anywhere anytime soon.  Is the preban gun worth 3 times the price of a PARS or INTRAC Maadi especially if the post ban gun has been debanned?  Not to me anymore, but to some it will be.  What I can tell you is there is no difference at all in fit, finish and performance between them.
