Are these worth a crap? Found one NIB that looks in excellent shape unfired, Was just wanting it for backyard shooting, Any pros or cons on these things? It has the DCI reciever

As long as you can check it out and are not overpaying then for a first AK it isn't a bad one if you can shoot an underfolder.  They will have non-chromelined US barrels.  Sold by Century but who knows who actually assembled them as there were supposed to be different builders.  Here is J&G sales price on them.

Can pick it up for 200.00 NIB, I looked it over and stripped it down and everything looked great, It has the wood handguards on it, As for the barrel after running several patches through it, Came out clean as a whistle, This thing looks really nice! Question really is, Do they shoot allright not being a chrome lined barrel?

It should shoot just fine not being chrome lined.  Arguably it will have less service life than chrome lined, and will be a little harder to clean.  But at 200.00, I'd buy it in a minute!

Service life? I want to shoot the crap out of this thing, Considering keeping all the parts cleaned and lubed how long or how many rounds should I get out of it?

I am guessing far more than you'll put through it.  Even the actual Yugo barrels that were coming over in the kits were not shot up and they had been through Hell and back.

For 200 bucks, it's a no-brainer.

For $200 you could afford to put 10,000 rounds through it, throw it away and still have gotten your money's worth.

If you pass on it, please give me the info so I can buy it.
