Mar '12 1500: Selling a problematic ak

[DoomOfMan]

First let me say i have never once sold a firearm before in my life. So pointers are appreciated. I have a rifle that i think is in good condition except it jams on the same round everytime i load the mag. Ive polished and lubricated everything that moves and it still jams. Im asking $400. Is tgatthe asking to much for an ak.

What kind of AK? That could either be a great deal or an ok deal.

 

[Mosinguy]

Also, have you tried different ammo? Different magazines? Are you using FMJs or hollow points?

 

[phil]

Have you tried new mags? That will probably fix the issue. If that doesn't fix it, I wouldn't give $400 for a junk AK. Just my 2 cents...

 

[snorko]

Indeed, country of origin, caliber, etc?

 

[DoomOfMan]

Its an Sar3 ive tried different mags same thing. ive shot fmj steel and brass case ammo and it almost bends the brass cased ammo in half.

 

[ZachJ03]

That is the 223 caliber AK right?

 

[fullmetaljesus]

I will plant a tree in my yard in your honor for the gun. When the tree matures, I will then turn it into paper and then write a story about how awesome "DoomofMan" is and write how you heroically saved the gunssmiths daughter from the evil Bradragon.

 

[Mosinguy]

The SAR 3 is infamous for this. Unless you want to take it to an AK gunsmith, you have a nice tool to prop doors open.

 

[DoomOfMan]

The Sar3 shoots. 556. And. 223 yUOTE][/QUOTE]g.

I believe they are worth around $440. Good luck getting $400. I'd give you $250 for it mailed to my house....lol

Poke around INGO some more, OP, and I'm sure that someone can help get it in top working order; then you can sell it for what it's worth!

I mean it shoots and it shoots well but round number 14 gets stuck everytime ill buy a new mag and try that maybe it just doesnt like the old 1980facebook mags ive tried. Maybe joe shmoe who has no idea will buy it i donno. Is there a such thing as an after market feed ramp?

So you get your mags in the past from a 1980's Facebook? and why would you even think about selling a gun that may or may not work to someone? Go back to Hoosiertopics if you were serious about that statement.

 

[Gunaria]

Are you using steel mags or plastic Pro-mags?

At least he's being honest about it. People sell problematic guns all the time.

Maybe its a California gun that only takes 13 round magazines.

This is a serious offer.

 

[Gunaria]

Heck I'll give you $260 shipped.

DoomOfMan, you wouldn't happen to know an INGO member who goes by the name STEELCORE?
