Ok guys,

Like a alot of people I am a victim of this bad economy. I need to sell one gun quickly. I have:
A Mak 90 stamped receiver with a bsquare mount, fired but real reliable
A vz58 with polymer black furniture never fired
a cav-15 polymer lower ar15 .223
a saiga 12
a saiga 308

I need to get rid of one. Which one should I get rid of?
 
Those are all tough, if it was me I'd get rid of the Mak90 because thats the one you might be able to replace later. Second would be the Cav-15 (same reason).

Maybe sell plasma instead.
 
Well new Saiga 12's are selling for $550.
I'd sell the 2 want to be AK s - the Saigas as they still might maybe exist after the next ban?
 
I wouldn't sell any of them if I could avoid it, sell something else if you can. Find away to make it work. Best of luck to you.
 
I will never sell a gun again. Dave Ramsey would say that there are always opportunities to make more money, deliver pizza at night, get a paper route......I strongly recommend his strategies, seriously, his common sense approach to money is amazing.
 
The Nork AK should stay; they're no longer imported. The Saiga's should stay, just because they're useful and cool. I'd sell either the Cav Arms lower or the VZ - starting with the AR lower (since it's the odd duck of the collection).
 
Are you out of kidneys? JUST KIDDING :neener:

I'd try the alternatives suggested, or just go on gun broker to get an idea of how much you can realistically get right now for each of them, and sell whatever will meet your financial needs.
 
Sell blood.

If your O negative, its worth like $1.2 k per pint.

O positive, is maybe 500$ per pint.

Try to keep around 66-75% of your blood, less can result in nausea and poor digestion and...
 
If you had to sell one, I'd pick the CavArms.

AR-15s are pretty much the most inflated gun in the current panic, so your markup on that would be highest.

Definitely wouldn't sell the Vz58. Restrictions on imported parts seem far more possible than an all-out AWB-II, so the Vz has more vulnerability to being cut off than a 100% U.S. AR.
 
If the Mak90 & vz58 are both in 7.62x39 I'd sell the one of those you're least attached to. They would be your only duplication of caliber amongst your collection & that way you'll have a light 'long range' (.223), short range (7.62x39 AK-type), & a heavy 'long range' (.308) rifle. Of course, a shotgun (Saiga) is almost indispensible.
 
I might try to hold onto the VZ, but all the others not only are replaceable and mass produced modern civilian guns, but also are at the peak of their price patterns. If you're ever going to sell, now is the time to unload the autoloaders.
 
I'd ditch the Cav-15 and Saiga .308. The Saiga-12 is hard to come by, the MAC-90 is no longer imported, and the VZ-58 is arguably the nicest rifle you've got. On the other hand, the Cav-15 is totally replaceable and could probably be sold quickly for a profit. The Saiga .308 is a good gun, but hi-caps are only available from one or two sources and it fires an expensive cartridge.
 
Well new Saiga 12's are selling for $550.

Where? I haven't seen an unconverted S12 for under $600 in ages and a converted one under $1200 in even longer (Tromix guns going over $2k).

Currently I understand RAA is having problems getting Saigas into the country.

I'd sell the 2 want to be AK s - the Saigas

want to be AKs? Saigas are closer to a "pure AK" than any other AK variant on the market. They're made in the same Russian factory that Russian Military AKs used to be made.

Unfortunantly, I'm not sure what a MAK is.

It might depend on how much money you need. I'd probably sell CAV first, because it's not a complete firearm.
 
Zundfolge: "want to be AKs? Saigas are closer to a "pure AK" than any other so-called AK on the market. They're made in the same Russian factory that Russian Military AKs used to be made."

My Remington-Rand 1911A1 and my Remington-Rand portable typewriter were made in the same factory, too.

You do realize that the Saigas are the only real AKs, right? The Saigas are made in Izhmash (sp?) by Mikail Kalashnikov (that's right. He still works at that factory) and his crew. Any other AK is a knock off of the Saigas.

Oh, no; not another Saiga thread. Look, when Saiga makes an "AK" with a folding stock, a pistol grip, a bayonet lug, a flash hider, an AK trigger group, an AK handguard and a few other things, maybe I'll agree they're "closest to the original AK."

Man, and here I've been givin' that stuff away.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Saigas subject to an import ban. The AK pattern rifles are definitely "scarier" and would be more likely to be under political pressure. If I had to sell something off that list, I'd sell the AR IF I had another one. Otherwise it'd be the CZ. I don't really understand the point of an AK pattern rifle that doesn't take surplus AK mags anyway.
 
Geneseo1911: "I don't really understand the point of an AK pattern rifle that doesn't take surplus AK mags anyway."

Nor do I, but I don't begrudge them their rifle, unless and until such time as they beligerently declare their Volkswagen a Porsche. After all, Dr. Porsche designed it and it was made in the same factory.
 
SO I sold the CAV, thank you all
Now I am looking at the VZ58 or mak...I love them both. The vz is unfired and beautiful. The mak is the trustiest gun I have...I might just sell a kidney
