I'd offer them $250.00 and met them at $300.00  If it's a pawn shop you know they only have $150-$200 into it.  Also make sure all the numbers match on it.  Nowadays, a high cap thumbhole stock don't command any specials prices.  Afterall, for you to convert it over to a pistol grip no ban configuration that will cost you about 60 bones.

I think you did okay.  I picked one up recently for $200.  I am making it 922 compliant and putting an EG style side folder on it.  The Intrac Maadi's are good rifles.  Much better than the MISR made later by CIA.

$350 sounds pretty good to me! Of course those who have recently bough a Maadi ARM for $200 sounds even better. $200? Really? That seems like one heck of a deal being that I bought my ARM back in 1994 for $250 and considering they are no longer imported... you scored big time on that! Anyway, I've heard and seen these ARMs going for $400 to $450.  Maadi ARMs are great rifles.. they just need a little TLC.

Here's a pic of my ARM that I recently refinished in Molyresin and added new furniture from Z-Recto for anyone that's interested...
