I've bought or sold hard-to-find AK parts there.. better to sell there than to buy- they know what rare parts are worth!

I managed to get a Chinese AK trigger guard off ebay (of all places) for $63 shipped... I could turn around and sell it there fast for $125. (has a different # of rivets than European trigger guards)
now I need to dig up the rest of my MAK90 conversion to type56 parts since moving... only thing I'll still be missing is the FSB with bayo lug (I have a neutered one) and a spike bayonet.

You talking about a underfolding spiker bayonet for the chinese AK?

I bought a virgin one at a gunshow a few years back for ........................$35!

Turned around and sold it for around $350 on the AKfiles in 15 minutes with a sloppy seconds buyer waiting..... totally worth the $8 entrance fee!

That's the one... I'm going to build it with the neutered FSB, and if I can find a deal anywhere near close to what you did, I'll pick it up in a heartbeat, but I wouldn't go over $200... I know where I can get one for $260 now.

They've starting making USA reproductions of them last I heard.. Probably brought down the price of the real ones cause of it...

When I saw that sitting on the table at the GS I didn't hesitate to buy it.. I was probably the only knuckle head in that place that really new what it belonged to.

That's what I heard from the Rachael Ray of AKs...
interesting what does and doesn't draw attention at fun shows... I should try some here... they seem fixated on brand name revolvers- went to an auction here in Canton, and most expensive items were revolvers... but they were collectible Colts or Smiths. Most of rural TX is is only interested in AKs for one reason- price. They even put 1 or 2 precision ARs back, not meeting reserve. I didn't buy anything of significance (just some low-hanging ammo that wasn't a great deal)... but went to learn what was different here.

I've had a hard time finding a good source of reasonably priced firearms in East Texas... they tend to cling to their guns here... only thing I've bought recently was off Gunbroker, and shipped here- but $15 transfer, and my License to Carry was my Background Check... that was worth it alone.

To be honest, I'm itching to do a FTF sale just because I can... even a $400 Gen2 Glock was really interesting me... if not for the 2+ Hour drive.

+1. They are a vicious bunch over there in GD.

Personally I like the Akforum more for any ak related stuff. The files is a circus most times. Not what it use to be.
