I remember one seeing those for the first time at a gun show. looked at the price tag of $299

well I'll be looking to get something else to shoot x39 ammo from. be glad if prices get back down to the couple few hundred dollars.

i am wondering if after all this goes away will the prices still be even higher? was seeing coverted saigas around for $600 or so. wasnt a horrible price if you factor in parts and labor. but you could still find a more complete couple AK's for that price. and it is still hard to believe sgl21's were the same price a few years back and i wasn't willing to pay that. and they just kept going up.


JYD #82 yup...

I have seen some AKs for 800 but I don't know enough about them to risk buying one.

Very nice M76, one of the best made AK style rifles. It is a shame that they stopped the importation from Finland when they did, and even more a shame the company was not around when the ban was lifted. I would love to have a 76 again, but this time both in 5.56mm and 7.62x39mm.

This one was unfired, NIB when I got it a several years ago (I fixed that!).

Had just gotten a bonus at work, saw it on gunbroker and put in a lowball bid.
This was when the AWB was still in force, and prices on pre-ban stuff was still high. I didn't make the reserve (only bit $1000), and forgot about the rifle. A day later, the seller hits me up with an email that if I still want the rifle, he'll sell it to me for my initial bid ($1000). I said "Sure..."

It came with 3-30 rd Factory Valmet mags, 1-15 rd., and a couple converted AK mags. Just the Valmet mags were almost $450 in value.

When it got to my FFL, it truly was unfired. It was missing the bayonet and the green leather sling, but otherwise in NIB condition.

If you know what these sell for, and what all "pre ban assault rifles" were selling for, you know it was a steal.

It's a great shooter!

looks like prices are coming down some. from the little bit I've learned its hard to go wrong with a arsenal. if I was to buy another it would likely be an arsenal or a vepr. the vepr rifles are supposed to be solid but lack some of the features. some minor mods may be required to take ak mags but a lot of it is covered on the web somewhere.

No a Galil looks like a Valmet .... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Yes that one is in 5.56. The very first Galils were built on bare receivers the Israelis bought from Valmet... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeas, I remember. My first Valmet was a M71, then I had to get a 76. I even got to shoot a buddies M76 in 7.62x39mm and M78 on occasion. You did make a steal. I used to get Valmet stuff from a guy that went by Finn Bear--he was a former greco wrestler in Finland that had moved to the US. Great guy and I miss talking with him.
