brad, you own one of the finest akms clones ever imported into america. the kassnar imports are all pre-1989 and prior to the assault weapon ban expiring were selling in the $1200-1600 price range for new-in-box examples. a clean, used sa85m underfolder could fetch $$1000-1200.

i do not know what current post-awb pricing is running, but that is an akm version well worth stashing away as a collector item while you shoot a cheap romanian clone.

feg has supposedly ceased production of kalashnikovs. they do still manufacture pistols and a variety of industrial products that center around a line of stoves and furnaces.

i've read the numbers, but forget the exact amounts. for the pre-ban versions, it was something like 1600 total, of which 1200 were folders.

someone will correct me if i am off base.
