What is the going price for a Arsenal SA 93, milled reciever, in our current political climate, in mint condition. I live in Minnesota, and our legislature has a bill on the docket that will ban all guns unless they are muzzle loading flint locks. haha. but seriously i need a little help on a ball park price, i'm gonna sell before they make me register.

They are very nice rifles. Before the panic, a new/unfired was worth about $1k.
If I were selling one right now on Gun Broker, I would start the 1-week auction at $1200. You will probably get anywhere from $1200 - $1500, but that's just an educated guess. They are nice, but require debanning expense (stock set, FCG, etc.) which limits its value a little bit. If you have a trusted friend or family member out-of-state, you should consider having them hold onto it until you see how things pan out. |

Just bought a brand new, un-fired, and with all the little accessories and manual, in the original box.. Arsenal SA-93 a few weeks ago. It was originally purchased before the 1994 ban, so I guess that makes it a "pre-ban" gun.. which is important for me living in NY I guess.
It is the first AK I have ever owned. I took the mint condition and ugly-as-sin thumbhole stock off and replaced it with an adjustable Tapco stock and put a Tapco pistol grip on there.. Also replaced the hand-guard with a "Arsenal, Inc. Hand guard with Stainless Steel Heat Shield AK-47 Milled Receivers Polymer Black". Now it looks cool too. I have to get a few more parts to be 922r compliant I guess. I still have to figure out exactly which parts and I do not want to downgrade anything. I just shot it a few days ago for the first time. I put about 90 rounds through it, some old brass, and some wolf brown bear, and some stuff I got at Cabela's.. I have nothing to compare it to, but it is a beautiful shooting rifle. From everything I have read so far, I am lucky as hell to have the thing.. I got it from a relative at a great price. Here's a vid of it being fired.. that isn't me shooting it.

I'll start my own thread with some more pics and stuff, but if you have a chance to buy one, I do not think you will regret the purchase. It is a great gun. I'm so lucky to have mine. edit- hmm.. it won't let me poat an embedded vid I guess. Direct link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBHtitk-dAw |
