How do Vector Aks measure up to all the rest are far as accuracy, reliability, and finish?

Also what would be a fair value for a Vector underfolder?/

I have two Vectors, both are great guns.  Excellent fit and finish and more than accurate enough for me.   I think a realistic (not Obama frenzy) price would be $600-700.  Maybe a bit more if in excellent condition.

Excellent gun all the way around. Fit and finish are outstanding, and accuracy, at least out of mine, is exceptional.

Vectors are top of the line stuff.......asking price now for a underfolder around $900.....before the frenzy maybe around $650- $750

Picked one up directly from Vector last year.  Fit and finish is excellent.  Not sure what country's parts were used but it is top notch.  mine has a chrome lined barrel, park finish and fixed lam stock.  It ran $475 + shipping and dealer transfer fee.

Knowing what I know now, I wish I had ordered 2 more.  Didn't realize just how good the quality was until I started looking around at others on the market.

For the price then, they could not be beat.

Just picked up a ARS Rom "G" built.  Fit on the Vector is as good or better than the ARS.

My Vector RPK rivals Krebs in terms of build quality.  If you put a Krebs stamp on it, only a few very minor issues would show the trained eye that it isn't one of their builds.

Awesome gun.

I'll jump in. I have a couple wood underfolders and proud as hell about it. I Should've bought a fixed stock one as well when I had the chance.

The Vectors I have seen are very good guns.  I can't recall seeing any negative posts about Vectors, I wish I could say that about Arsenal.  I would say buy with confidence.

I bet your Vector is a polish parts kit.....check the left side below the rear sight, is there a #11 in a cirlcel...followed by a year....if so its polish

My Vector (fixed stock) is very accurate, utterly reliable, and has a very nice finish - especially as compared against my MAK-90. A Vector underfolder will likely set you back anywhere from $650 - $800. Check www.atlanticfirearms.com and see how much they're going for there.

You're right.  circled #11 followed by the year 1991

It would be nice if Poland released more of those kits as the quality appears very good.

At the time I bought it I asked about the country and he may have said poland.  I do remember that he said that they used whatever kits they could get at the time.

Does anyone know what happened to Vector.  I had heard that they were out of business.

the Polish parts kits are amazing kits....pretty much all dried up now, still can find them here and there but expect to pay a premium.


Yea Vector got involved in a bad business deal and it basically cost them everything.....to bad because they had some quality stuff at $500 nothing being sold on the market could even come close to the quality, fit, finish, and customer service you received.....to bad they are on the outs

The Vector AKs are good to go.  Mine was accurate, reliable, had a good finish and a nice trigger.
