Dammit Charlie Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 $950 isn't batshit crazy. The $1900 polytec AK I saw this weekend is batshit crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Milled AKs are wrong, the tolerances are too tight. In certain areas the action is intended to be able to move freely and the receiver flex ever so slightly. It plays a big part in the reliability. Russians perfected the stamping of them, and AFAIK they still use stamped weapons today. Milled ones are heavier as well. Only cool as a collector piece if its mint condition.

Ahmadi6490 Posted November 13, 2012 Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 An AK is a battle rifle, it's not a precision weapon such as the AR. Shit i'd rather buy a chrome ak47 for that price now hows that for some bling bling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1fast5gp Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 what's the point of a milled ak47? So they can sell a less reliable rifle for a higher price tag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjjxlr8 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Nothing wrong with milled AKs at all. Plenty of militaries (Russia, China, Bulgaria, Finland, Israel, etc.) used them and still use them today. They are not less reliable than the stamped receiver variants. That post ban milled example for $950 is a bit high, but it is rather uncommon. I've seen them new in the box for less in the last couple of years.

jjjxlr8 Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) $950 isn't batshit crazy. The $1900 polytec AK I saw this weekend is batshit crazy. Was it a Legend (milled receiver)? The milled preban Polytech Legend rifles usually sell from $1800 - $2800 depending on condition, model, and whether or not it comes with the original box and accessories. Stamped receiver Polytechs with the folding spike bayonet are also pricey and go for around $1200 - $2200. They are really NICE rifles with excellent triggers (by military standards) and a very good fit and finish. Prices are inflated on these Chinese preban rifles because they were banned and there has been a 'fixed' supply since 1994.
