Here's a  pic link to a Maddi RPK that I'm thinking about selling.  I have an SBR'd krink in process but have decided I need one of ORF's with the cool looking fake can.  Started with a '94 thumbhole stock maddi RPK,  Replaced the furniture with Russian stock and handgrips.  Added US FC, pistol grip and piston.  Then sandblasted, parkerized and KG gun coated.  I was going to put a RPK bipod on it as well but the barrel is too thin and the Russian RPK bipod I have is too long.  

Well heres a pic -

What do you think I should ask?  I was thinking $600 to $700 range.

Try the retail store price trick and go with like $599.   It's a really nice looking RPKish AK and I think it should sell easy.

I debating whether to list it on the EE or just wait until the big Tulsa gunshow in Oct.  Everytime I've taken stuff there to sell or trade I've alway gotten my asking price - including crap that was just taking up space on my bench.

Of course, at some point I alway end up regreting selling pretty much every gun I've ever let go.  But if I'm going to have an RPK, it must have a bipod so I think this ones going on the block to finance the new (hopefully) krink from ORF.

What a nice gun. I wish I didnt just agree to my wife to move into a bigger appartment...no new toys for RG for a while :( Heck, I'd even trade an Uzi for that but I'm currently using the one I've got....

Thanks for the compliments guys.  I still havent decided what to do with it yet.  I did talk to Mike at ORF and the krink with side rail should be done in a week or so...  Now its just a matter of hiding the funds transfer from my better half...
