So it is a Poly Technologies AKS-223. Really good condition with a couple mags. Havent shot it yet.
Can someone confirm it shoots both .223 and 5.56? After some googlefu I'm pretty sure it does.
Anything I should know about it? Ended up being about $1500 in value to my buddy and about $1k in...
Thanks for the info, INGO. This really helps.
We'll see if I like it. If I don't, my friend and I will just work something else out for the next gun.
Good stuff.
Well it's hard for me to wrap my head around an AK being worth that much, but it looks like I'm going to be doing some extra work for it. I 've always wanted a nice AK and it sounds like this might be one of the nicer ones.

I checked with my friend. It looks like the receiver is marked for both .223 and 5.56x45 so that makes sense. He also has a few mags for it. I havent actually seen it yet. He says it worked great the last time he shot it which was a fiew years ago. Sat in a safe ever since.

Thanks for the info. Reloading looks like an expensive way to work hard at a hobby that involves math and things that explode. But other than that........
Thanks. That seems like a significant increase in cost in a short time.
Since my interests are more in modern rifles, that is concerning. Has the price fluctuated much, or does it seem like this is the new normal price?
That looks amazing. How much would something like that cost around here. Maybe not that extensive, but a design on the grip and something on the slide?
