Cheap. $179.00

it's a good platform to build a beater ak on. a little time with a file, a few usa parts bought on the cheap and you can undercut the price of a wasr high cap.

many of us like the do-it-yourself approach.

I would think it would be hard to precisley file the mag well. What I dont get is why the upcharge for the High Cap Conversion. A gun that retails for $180 and then some cheap U.S. parts and a little machining would cost about $120 more?? Century Arms must be making a killing off of the high caps

seems like a fair price to me. and it's more like $100. you figure around $50 for the u.s. parts and $50 for the filing. you're not going to find the compliance parts and machining for much cheaper unless you do it yourself.

what a rip, I have seen them at some shops for the same price. They rely on the non-ARFCOM type to walk in there and just pay top dollar for them.
