A friend of mine has a Egyptian Maadi AK for sale.
He hasn't priced it to me yet and I am suppose to look at it later in the week.
It's all original, suppose to be in good shape, and has wood thumb-hole stock .
In today's market, what's it worth? I know prices are crazy right now, but realistically what is it worth?

What model and importer?

If the importer is PARS INC or ACC Intrac it's a good gun.

Some of them have threaded barrels with a nut tack welded over them, others have the third Y & I stamps.  A few even have both, adding the most value
However some have had the muzzle thread turned down

If the importer is Century....

If it's a MISR

If it's a MISR 90 it's a franken gun built from a mix of Chinese parts and an Egyptian receiver. The worst option out there.

First, sorry to resurrect an old post, but this seems like the most likely spot for this sort of question (and because I haven't found the 'new topic' button yet amongst all the colors)

I'm looking at purchasing my first AK.  I know my max bid for this rifle, so just trying to make sure I know what questions to ask before I push the 'bid' button :)

Where would it show that it was a MISR?

On the left (rear) it says RML Semi Automatic Rifle; Caliber 7.62 x 39; Maadi Company; Made in Egypt

From the pictures I've received, I believe there is a 'serial number' on the left front that is: ESH 00562.

From the research I've done today here, I believe it to be a PARS MRL (but waiting for images from the right side, thinking that's where that stamp will be).

Because I don't yet have pictures from the right side, I want to make sure that I'm not getting a MISR.  Would that be stamped where this one has MRL ?

Thanks in advance.

Don't see it stamped anywhere on the bottom.

The image with what I think is the serial number (is there anywhere to look those up to find out more about her?)

Thanks in advance.  Looking forward to hearing this isn't one of the MISRs  :)

Pars should be marked on the front right side:



I love mine.

Thanks!  

I just got some additional photographs and that's indeed what is there.  :)
