| What would someone expect to pay for a preban Styer import Maadi? One is being advertised locally and is listed as "Collector grade, low serial number". Asking price seems high. Just curious what is may really be worth. GB has one that's been listed for quite a while so I don't think it's a good comparison. |

They are pretty rare and usually go for $1000+. Possibly even as much as $1300 or $1400.
Some Steyr imported Maadi's were used in the filming of Red Dawn. Here is a list of the serial numbers of the guns used in the movie. Check the serial number of the one for sale against this list, you never know. Semi-Auto "Red Dawn" Maadi AKMs, Total of 21 rifles
The first number is the LMO Inventory number from the 1998 Appraisal at SGR Inc. Maadi is the manufacturer, all were AKM semi autos, full stock version. Outside surface was roughed up, blank restrictor placed under the flash hider, not a threaded bore. These are all “Pre 1994 Assault Rifles” and are grandfathered to buy and sell wherever legal. All were in 7.62x39mm. All were sold with one painted (Factory original) 30 round magazine. 4855 Maadi AKM S000350 4856 Maadi AKM S000322 4857 Maadi AKM S001978 4858 Maadi AKM S001586 4859 Maadi AKM S000800 4860 Maadi AKM S001050 4861 Maadi AKM S001215 4862 Maadi AKM S001688 4863 Maadi AKM S001248 4864 Maadi AKM S001102 4865 Maadi AKM S001220 4866 Maadi AKM S001845 4867 Maadi AKM S001091 4868 Maadi AKM S001202 4869 Maadi AKM S001012 4870 Maadi AKM S001402 4871 Maadi AKM S001768 4872 Maadi AKM S001246 4873 Maadi AKM S001547 4874 Maadi AKM S001625 4875 Maadi AKM S001590 |

Quoted:
When they were first imported over 20 years ago retail was $2K. I believe it was a grand, one of mine came w/a receipt/documents from 82 or 83 and it was $980ish I believe, I'll try to dig it out w/the paperwork and post a pic if I can find it. I'd hate to think they depreciated over time. 44 |
