Need help with value on an AK

[outnumbered]

I have been asked by my MiL to help her sell my late Father in laws firearms. Any resources for properly identifying and valuing an AK 47 would be greatly appreciated. I realize there are many variables that determine value, but I could use a solid jump off point to start.

A Blue Book of Gun Values would help to identify the specific models. Then use Gunbroker finished auction prices to help with values. A search of WTS ads on INGO can also be helpful. High dollar firearms (greater than 1K) are a tough sell on INGO. Your best price would come at auction. Now, if you're talking a full auto AK, auctions are the only way to get top dollar. Be ready to spend lots of time on research. You could also post pictures here on INGO and ask values. Good luck with your sales.

Is it a true ak-47 full auto? What stampings are on the gun? Pics? We will help thanks

 

[Vigilant]

What IS the AK you need a value on? That's the first step.

It is not full auto so I assume the AK 47 designation is an inaccurate label...my appologies. It is marked as Romanian, but as I am unfamiliar with these I don't know what markings and stamps are important.

Does it say wasr 10 or 10/63 on it or sar1?

Does it have a G on the left side, just below the rear sight? Is the stock wood with a black stripe? There are A LOT of variable even from the same country.

 

[Clay]

being Romanian it is likely one of the following, and it will say it on the receiver:

SAR
ROMAK
MK-II
CUR
WUM
WASR

there are different varients of each, but those are the main imports.

I want to play too. Milled or stamped? Intact bayonet lug?

Sar-1 ...

 

[vitamink]

My favorite Romanian.

I should have answered your original question. One year ago I would have paid $620.00 for one. Today, given the political climate, id pay about 550...assuming its in great shape of course.

Hard to believe they have gotten even this high. Although they sure do beat a wasr

 

[vitamink]

Yep and new Wasrs are in the 550-600 range. I'd take a Sar 1 all day long.

for sure

The WASR is still better than US made rifles that cost twice as much.

Sorry to hear about the circumstances of you acquiring this rifle.

Would you be so kind to post a couple of pictures of the SAR-1. Granted most would fall in the $500 to $600 range but a picture is worth a thousand guesses. Also, do you still have that ragged box that Century shipped the rifles in, as well as any of the accessories that it came with (sling, cleaning kit, oil bottle, mags)?

Wouldn't mind having another SAR-1 to play with.

 

[indyguy333]

In this market, 600 or so

the last time I saw a SAR-1 on Armslist it was listed for $750 I have no idea if it sold and that was before Trump was elected....
