Which 7.62 to sell

rico903 · Oct 13, 2014

I have to raise a few dollars so thinking of selling one of my 7.62x39 rifles. Now that I know it's legal to put a folder I have on my Mini 30 the choice is harder. Either my Mini 30 or my VZ 2008. Both are NIB and I have ample high cap mags for both. So which would you guys sell? I'm leaning toward the VZ as I think the Ruger is probably a better gun.

they are both good looking rifles...I would keep the Mini 30.

I would also keep the mini. The vz2008 is nice... But the quality isn't there compared to the Ruger.

You do know that you cannot sell the mags in MD?

Or even offer them for sale.

Sell both, buy a Czechpoint vz58?

Careful. They are different now. I saw a new CSA one come out of the box at a shop last week and they no longer come w/ the orig barrels w/ a pinned extension. Its now >16" w/ a removable muzzle nut. Though the bbl did still appear chrome lined. Also painted black now instead of the orig grey.

On the Mini, is the barrel the .308 or .311 one? If .311 keep it. Sell them on GB for highest return.

As long as the barrels are the same quality, I'd call that a bit of an improvement.

Which is more accurate, and can your Mini 30 shoot the cheap Russian stuff fine?

dreadpirate · Oct 13, 2014

I say neither - raise money another way. Everyone I have know that has sold any of their rifles has (with rare exception) regretted it.

I've sold a fair number of guns, and have not regretted it. Not every gun makes sense forever, not every purchase was a good decision, and no one has infinite room in their safe(s). The OP is not talking about selling stuff that's hard to replace or even out of production, either.

I've recently sold every C&R rifle I owned, along with a few AR uppers.

If there's no sentimental attachment, or it's something that can't be rebuilt/replaced at a later date - it can and will be sold if need be.

**Hell, I almost sold my favorite upper and all it's reloading components - until I remembered how much I enjoy shooting it.

I'm in the same boat. Can't decide whether to my sell FNAR or my DPMS AR10 with bull barrell. Both are very accurate.

No bayonet lug either on the Czechpoints.

Good point. How would I know w/o taking it to a smith to slug? It's an older one, would that be a tip off?

Can never bare to sell any of my firearms. If I out grow my safe, I will just have to upgrade to a larger one. All my firearms have sentimental value. They are all purchased new, so I got to be the first to shoot them. I want to be able to pass them down to my son and daughter.
