M+M AK47 for $875?

[sajidakh]

I'm currently in GA, a free state where you can cash & carry anything. Will be back in MD in a month or so. Even here gun prices are still outrageous. I need an AK to complete my "banned list" collection, but they're going for what arsenals USED to go for. Should I a pull the trigger on a decent looking M+M ak which is really a $600 gun? Or wait a couple months and hope the situation gets a little better on the transfer side in MD. Keep in mind no waiting period here. What would ya'll do?

I would purchase it by having it shipped to a md ffl like I'm supposed to...

Or you could just stay on topic as I am PCS'd down here and can purchase guns like any GA resident. Everyone's a smart tough guy on the internet these days.

sorry, didn't realize I was acting tough. answer remains the same... purchase it. just skip the transfer if you are legally able.

Is paying an extra couple hundred bucks worth not having to wait at least 2 months for the transfer thorugh a MD FFL? If you can legally cash and carry, it's worth the $200 fee. Remember, you're looking at a $60 fee from the MD FFL anyway in addition to the 2+ month waiting period.

It's hard to advocate paying $875 for an M10, and I love mine. They were more like $500 before the panic, albeit they were a spectacular value for the price. How much would a fixed stock stamped Arsenal be? Like a couple hundred more? Eh.

I would buy an arsenal down there and be done with it

Arsenal slr107 for 1099. Can't see myself going 4 digits on an ak.

I paid $200 less for one last year. It's not like it's going to rot in a couple of years, that rifle will last longer than you.

Decisions decisions! I never remember what I pay for a gun. I guess that's a good thing

I think maybe he was attempting to poke fun at our laws. You know, illustrating absurdity by being absurd?

If you're based elsewhere at the moment, like a state that doesn't suck, take advantage of it and cash-and-carry what you can.

Went with the M10 with aluminum handguards and kicklite stock. Looks good but it's gonna take a little work. Gotta file the safety detent and magazine release down a little for it to work smoothly. And the gas tube lever release as well. Supplied Tapco Mag will NOT fit into the receiver. Steel Bulgarian mag fit snug.

You've got to shave down the Tapcos a bit. Colorado Guns has fairly tight magwells on the M10s.

You gave him incomplete info and posted what looked to be an illegal act. Then you blame him for suggesting you don't break the law?

And what incomplete info did I give him about the question I wanted answered? Didn't know I was obliged to reveal anything to you guys. Answer the question or don't post at all. In your case. Don't post at all.

Thanks man. Will give it a try.
