Ok, so I have the chance to buy a nicely built Yugo M70 underfolder AK47 from a guy locally to me. He needs the cash bad (over extended himself on another gun buy) and he has dropped his asking price down to $450 with 4 mags and about 400 rds of ammo.
The gun looks good cosmetically and a quick inspection of the internals shows that it was put together properly ( has the tapco internals) and no sign of wear on the hammer from the bolt riding it (this is a common issue on some vulcan/hesse builds). The barrel is yugo and is in good shape and not shot out like most.
now here is the BIG issue for me... it is built on a Vulcan receiver...
He is going to do the file test today and check the hardness of the receiver. If it turns out ok I am really tempted to buy the gun.
I am thinking even if this later turns out to be a POS receiver i could get a nodak receiver to swap in (parts kits on yugo m70's are getting more expensive nowadays) since between the parts kit, the american parts, the mags and the ammo I would be doing fine on spending only $450...
what do you all think? ( I know that hesse/vulcan are not that great).
