What's my Saiga AK47 (7.62x39) worth?

[Bobby Ricigliano]

The stock Saiga is a nice weapon. Don't taint it with any UTG, NCstar, or any other Chi-com Big 5 cheap green laser crap. Just my 2 cents brother....

Bored of it. Looking at getting an AR15. Not a 100%. Thus the reason I am kicking it around $500-$550 is in the ball park then?

Ya, I broke it down to:

$380 gun - minus 10-20% = 304$
$30 shipping fee if bought online - recoup zero
$130 stock and quad rail - Stock is garbage, rail is GTG but heavy. Maybe 40$ back.
$20 bullet button - zero recoup when the stock/grip abortion gets S canned.
$20 bullet guide - zero recoup
$30 30rd mag (rebuild kit) - 12$ online all day, maybe that much each.
$80 If bought new, FFL fee @ Ammo Bros - Price of doing business, zero recoup--
$690

This is my breakdown if I was going to buy this. You can't really try to recoup the FFL and shipping fees unless your dealing with an uninformed person. I would offer 400 and the stock/grip, the mag lock would hit the garbage can the second you take the cash. I would do that n front of you so you know I wasn't B.S.ing you. You could keep that stuff but I would have no use for it.
This is just my opinion.

Well, thanks everyone for your feedback. The line between insults and feedback is getting blured. Simple price would have done it.

I have enough feedback. Thanks everyone.

I have a Saiga ak47. It has 10 rds down the barrel. I added a UTG quad rail, and a rear Tapco adjustable stock. It has a bullet button and a 10rd magazine. I also added a bullet guide so it accepts any ak magazine. I might have a 30rd rebuilt mag some where. I also might have the stock stuff removed as well. Would have to look.

Question? What's it worth? Could I get $550-$600?

The market is awash with various model AKs and Saigas. They don't hold their value particularly well either (owners think "AK means I don't have to clean it right?!"). I traded away a Saiga for a 2000 round case of ammo worth about $340.00 (I bought it for $320).

Good luck.

$320? You bought it awhile back then.

Thanks for the feedback.

All this talk for a $100-150?

Ask $500ish. When someone comes with cash, either take it or not.

Then buy what you want.

This is the cycle of life.

I think those are pretty generous numbers. I've found it for $380, free shipping, $55 DROS, and I can get 7.62 Rebuild kits for $10. As for the stock, it's pretty rank. The rail is okay though. But it's your rifle, you sell it for what you think it's worth.

I have both an AR-15 and a Saiga 7.62 with mods and I'm very happy with these two being my only rifles

I will probably keep the Saiga and get an AR as well.

Haha! I bought mine for $249.99 shipped. I guess I must have been one of the first people to buy one.

I have a saiga and been thinking about selling it. So 450-500 converted ha.
