Hi, I have an AR, and have decided to get an AK also. How does this sound: Norinco "National Match" labeled, heavy barrel, threaded barrel, thumbhole stock, FORGED receiver, also has a factory bipod. $550.00
Is this a decent deal? It does come with a few mags.

20 or 21" AK imported between the 89-94 years. Change to a pistol grip and the US parts count monster arrives. Nice gun, not sure about their mkt value, but I would rather have a SAM7S or VEPR for that price.

too much money, imo (of course, i am a man of low moral values).

offer $450 and go to $500 only if the gun is minty and it really thrills you.

the cost to lose the t-hole will add $100-200 to the cost of the rifle...and it will be difficult to get that money out of it if you choose to sell it (unless you find a shmuck that doesn't know what it's worth).

Well, the gun is very minty. I am looking at purchasing it from the original owner, who is a friend of mine. He bought it new, b/c he liked the looks of it, almost ten years ago. He fired a couple magazines, packed it up and put it in the safe. He does this to most guns he owns. He's a collector, not a shooter.
