    Saiga AK47

    Good afternoon,

    A few years ago I picked up an AK47, however, it’s been sitting in my safe since then and I’m not a collector.

    It is stamped “Legion Izhevsk Russia” and “Arsenal Las Vegas” on the receiver. The stock, pistol grip, foreend, and muzzle break appear to be modified because they are all stamped “USA”.

    I’ll include a few pictures, just looking for a ballpark value to sell. Thanks in advance.

    Search for any recent online sales of that model, or AK based websites, I guess.
    It should bring more than you paid, nowadays.

    The U.S. marked components were added to comply with 922r. Imported or domestically assembled “non-sporting” (ie: scary) firearms are limited in the number of original imported components that they can be equipped with. You’ll find all the fun imports will have these subtle changes.

    Thanks for the insight. Bought it for $800 about two years ago. Sold it for $900 cash, Glock 19, Glock 43 both gen 4s. I’m happy with it as I’m not a collector.
