Campy, it could have been new, didn;t examine it all that closely. It had black synthetic furniture on it... Raptor22 and I shared a clothed orgasmic moment when we saw it. The price was surprising as it was on the table of a dealer who is notoriously way overpriced... like $2,500 for used preban Colt ARs. If I had enough of my collection with me I likely would have done some serious trading to try to get that beauty.

Later, I took a real close look at it and it was a .223! Very nice but I have had my fill of expensive, hard to find mags negating a good deal on a rifle. Also, when I got home, my wife did not smile until she saw only ammo and a small bag of goodies in my truck. Besides, I had the pleasure of firing someone's Krink and now I have to have one.

People who say ARs are addictive are hooked on caffeine... people who develop an AK addictios are mainlining heroin and chasing it down with a few rocks of crack... Yeah, the Krink is a wet and sticky pant load of fun! |

that's when i whip out my aim flyer and lmao as i walk away. valmet prices never skyrocketed to match...oh, say the yugo akm's...precisely for the reasons raptor mentioned. through in that funky styling, zilcho spare parts and no dealer support and those somewhat accuracy limited rear sights and you have the formula for more of a collector's rifle than a daily shooter. conversely, i am always amazed to see the prices asked for and paid for the galil. |

Ever since I knew what they were I've lusted after those Valmets. Mag prices don't mean anything to me, as I wouldn't buy it with the intent of hoarding. Two or three would do just fine for me.
I especially like the 7.62x39 ones that are styled similarly to the 5.56 ones. I forget what they are called... |

Yeah, it's too bad they never really took off. They are maybe the finest assault rifles in the world but a lack of spare parts and mags really hurts their saleabiltiy. |
