Looking to cull the herd some to make room.
Between 2 AK's which one should go. Choice for me isn't which one is worth more its the one worth having in a small collection.
Both guns are unfired by me. Only test fired by builders.

AK # 1. A Dan's kit polish underfolder, all matching with standard receiver. Nicely done  hot blued finish on rifle and couple of mads G2 trigger. Professionally done by
            a small builder in West Virgina. very nice wood handguards
AK#2   A Chris Butler Saiga conversion done when he was just starting out. Textured powder coating. Original Gordons Technologies trigger group, aluminum triangle
           fixed stock ( no longer made.)  Rvets are present above handgrip. 103K style

Have to make room for a 1982, 98% HK93 with 7 metal mags, also the new Vepr 12's that are coming.

What do you guys think?

Or just heat up the metal and frog lube it so you don't need to keep in the safe and just store it in a rifle case

Agreed, underfolders are far more common.

I disagree... sometime it is just taking up space and you have better gear to choose from.

"Never" is dumb.

Sell #1 at market price 2 months from now.

I was actually thinking of keeping #1. Only because it is a good example of the somewhat original Kalashnikov family. The saiga on the other hand, with the powder coat isn't that original.
To help make room for the new ones, I feel I need to sacrifice one. Finances places a part in my decision to move one out. I like all the ones I have for their own reason.

2 month's makes good sense. sell when the market is up.

i'd sell the underfolder.

I'd keep the underfolder. Parts kits with original barrels are either gone or insanely expensive compared to what they used to be. You can always get another Saiga conversion.
