I recently got into atv's, dirt bike hobby, and its just as costly as my gun hobby so I need to sell a high end gun to raise money.
I need help deciding, which should I sell? 107ur like new, or like new polytech double underfolder complete with everything including serialized box. Why or why not? Im really heart broken, but I want to join my kids in the fun. Dont get me wrong im planning on getting the most evil banned 1986 honda atc 250r (3wheeler) for myself. Thanks |

Quoted: I wouldn't sell either, as ATV's are a dime a dozen, and easy to find. However if you must sell one, I'd definitely keep the Chinese gun, as it's harder to replace. GARY N4KVE this, as long as that UR hasn't been papered. ETA: even if it is papered, what Gary said still holds true. |

Keep the PolyTech (unless you want to sell it to me CHEAP).
On a side note: Be CAREFUL with that 250R! Man those fuckers are dangerous, bigtime. I broke a lot of bones on the 2 that I had years ago, and still suffer long lasting effects from it. As they have become fairly collectable (and priced as such these days) you could probably pick up a decent dirt bike for the same price range. You should also consider an early 2000's 660 Raptor 4-wheeler, again in the same price range used. A couple years ago I was looking for a Banshee and couldn't find one so I picked up a 660 Raptor even though I had my heart set on a 2-stroke. I was hooked after the first ride! The torque that those things make is unreal, and they rev damn near like a 2-stroke motor. My buddie's FourTrax 250R can't touch me on the trails. He's constantly shifting between 2-3-4'th gears and fanning the clutch to keep it "on the pipe" and all I do is keep it in 3'rd. Lug it down going into a corner, then hammer on it coming out, carrying the front wheels the whole way throwing roost! It's stock other than the Dyno-Jet carb kit and K&N/Pro-design intake kit. I dropped one tooth on the front sprocket (didn't need all that top-end speed) and it'll do 4'th gear wheelies with my 250lb-ass on it... |

I really dont want to sell either, thats why im in this dilemma. But I figured it would be better to sell just one expensive one than 2 to 3 of the cheaper ones. Thanks for your input guys, it was an impulse post and I might just wait and see if a decent deal comes my way on a scoot.

As you can see, I've got current and previous history with Polytechs and Krinks. As has been stated, try to keep them both, but if you "must" sell one of the two, I say part with the Polytech Safe Queen, and keep the rare mini AK. There is "always" a Polytech up for sale on GB and/or the AK forums. Half of the sellers are people like you who need money fast, and the other half are people like me who get tired of having Safe Queens. I shoot my guns.....and will only Safe Queen a rifle again if it's super rare and valuable, such as a Russian Draganov, Chicom Type 81 RPK, older HK-41, etc. Of the (3) Chicoms below, the only one I've kept was the Spiker, which I bought lightly used and actually shoot. I just replaced the furniture set with a new set and slapped a 3-4 coats of low gloss Tung Oil on it to make her extra purdy. I still have all three Krinks, but the 107UR is my favorite AK in the whole wide world forever and ever, and my Go-To rifle for Armageddon or Zombies or whatever happens that's very very bad.

I'd sell the chicom. Preban chicoms can easily be found for sale. The 107UR would be much more difficult to replace someday.
Whenever I have to sell guns, I do it in order of how difficult they will be to get another one when I can afford it. Only time I've broken this rule was this week when I sold my SVD because I never shoot it and it's worth a large amount of money. |

My friend had a Tri-Z 250 2 stroke three wheeler that was an absolute monster. Unavoidable drifting on crowned streets but once we put it in some sand it was very stable. |
