I still have my Arsenal Milled receiver AK 47 now for sale at $1150.00
I also have 400 to 500 rounds of Wolf ammo for it at 25 cents a round plus shipping via UPS. Anyone interested you know the drill.

I had it sold on GB for $1250 but the guy never sent the check. The guy also flaked out on 2 other AKs the same week?



See this is exactly where i see a bubble. When people are willing to pay a premium for a milled receiver AK something is out of whack. You take a gun made famous by being a) cheap to manufacture via stampings and b) tolerant of poor conditions due to very loose tolerances and you eliminate those selling points........shouldn't it be worth less? kinda like putting burled walnut and hand stitched leather in a mexican vw bug.



of course i can offer my own counter point...the rem. 870 wingmaster. std. grade 870's are possibly one of the ugliest firearms i've ever handled. but they function and are quite popular. yet i paid a good 60% more to get one with nice blueing and wood. i would claim that for my money i got a smoother action and better rust resistance......but we're still talking about a basic utilitarian firearm.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
