I found a guy who has a Chinese AK for sale and I really don't know a lot about this type. I'm wondering if the price, $775, is fair.
1) it's a pre-89 ban, all Chinese parts
2) threaded barrel with slate brake
3) underfolder bayo
4) straight wood stock set
5) it's a stamped reciever, looks identical to my buddy's MAK90's.
6) markings: under the reciever, in front of the mag well (best I can remember) it says "B-West Made in China"; on the side under the trunion it says "AKS-47 7.62X39"; that's all the markings on the receiver other than selector markings. The serial number is on the trunion. No Norinco/Polytech nothing else.
7) comes with cleaning kit and 30 round mag
The chamber and barrel are VERY clean and shiny. Bolt, carrier, fire control group are very clean with little wear. Gas pistol has little carbon build up. Over all it looks taken care of and no rust. The only problem is instead of being blued like most Chinese rifles it's painted black and that black paint is flaking. I don't know if someone painted it or if that's the way B-west sold them. Good news is it appears blued underneath so I could strip the paint off and all should be good.
So fair deal or should I pass?
P.S. no, there is no 3rd pin hole
