I have the opportunity to buy a Polytech Legend for $1200.  Only problem is I don't know much about them.  I've read some talk of bad receivers on some of them.  What questions should I ask before I go take a look at this thing?  I don't want to get stuck with a faulty gun, especially when I'd be investing so much into it.

I'm an AK noob.  Help me out.

There were no Legends with bad receivers. That was Polytech AK kits that were built on B-west receivers (US made).

no such thing as a bad legend. It is the closest thing to a real Ak 47 you'll ever find in this country since it is the real thing minus the select fire feature. They shoot unbelievably well and are made with the straightest hand picked barrels etc... , just a wonderful rifle IMHO

Make sure it is the real thing by checking markings etc...and not a converted mak90

compare it to thishttp://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=107659627


it's prob. worth $1600.00 + and if it is the underfolder version it's worth even more as long as it is in reasonable decent condition. The way the election is looking it's going to be worth way more shortly.

Just bought one for 2 grand (came with bayonet accessories etc.. NIB and still in plastic) and I got a decent deal given the market. If thats any incentive to buy for 12 hundred, it should be.

The bad receiver on a Chinese AK is in regards to B-West brand AK's...but only those "MADE BY B-WEST", not the "IMPORTED BY B-WEST" earlier ones. The guy you spoke with may have been referring to those.
