I have a AK kit I am going to sell and need a price. I have no idea of value, or who made it. I bought it a long time ago, and cant remember if it is Russian or Bulgarian or ?????????? It is dated 1986, and has all matching numbers. The bore is nice and shiny. Thanks for the help.

| Looks like you have a bit of a mixmaster - Romanian trunnion/bolt carrier/likely barrel assembly, probably Polish underfolding buttstock, what looks to be Russian lower handguard and maybe a Romanian upper handguard (hard to tell with the photos - the gas tube looks to be also from a different rifle/kit), and a top cover that's probably from something else judging by the finish very much not matching the rest of the major parts which appear to be parkerized. Looks like you could do up a nice Russian AKMS with what you have - just need a receiver and re-finishing. |

I am going to sell it, and just didnt know how to list it. I like the Saiga's much better, so I buy those instead of building up kits.

Quoted:
The rivets on the front trunnion look unusual. I've never seen factory rivets flattened like that. Is this a disassembled home-build, by any chance? Commercial U.S. build? If so, that would affect the value, IMO. I agree. If it's a demilled home build, you gotta ask yourself why someone would demil their own homebuild- be sure to check the headspace (!) |

It was a demiled home build, but just because the receiver had that pesky 3rd hole.  Wish I could have sold it as a complete gun.
