Anyone remember Polytech Firearms?

[beerman]

I'd take (and I have taken) PolyTech m14's v. Springfield's M1A's anytime.

While I generally agree with you...the exception is the sub 70,xxx Springfields. They were superb. That said, you cant go wrong with the polytechs.

I have an unfired poly M-14, still hanging on to it.

[BigPimping]

I do not see Polytech on the list of weapons banned by name. Maybe I am missing something.

I love my Polytech M14S

Same here, its a side marked IDE import. Only thing I have done is replace the chu wood stock with a USGI Synthetic
or USGI wood depending on my mood

One of their sales brochures.

WOW! $699.95 for the M14S in that ad. Ah the good ole days.

[acaligunner]

YUM - Double folders, side folders, oh Lordy - why o why was I spending money on women's, instead of Chinese AK's? !

Funny, I actually use to see those poly M1A's, and thought - who would want a Chinese M1A..

Could have had them for around 5-600.

I use to live when things were Good in ca. I picked up some nice stuff, considering how young I was.

I miss all those Good times.

They made the best semi-auto AKs ever available in the USA.

They were then banned from importation into the USA in 1993 by the Clinton Administration.

Ahem, I sure you meant to say they were banned from importation into the USA in 1989 by the Bush Administration.

Wow, those suggested retail prices were much higher than the actual price you paid back in the 80s. I remember the Poly versions were around $250 at the two B&B locations and the Norincos were around $140. The IMI UZIs were $450. The Polys going for $3000 now? May as well be select fire for that amount.

I had a Poly Tech Legend, great rifle, wish I never sold it way back when.

The milled versions were not that low based on info from a family friend. He recalls that the poly techs were the most expensive ak variants available at the time and they didn't sell too well due to the higher price. His national match was around $800.

I think it was a Presidential order, so the President can unban them too. Funny, we have had Republican Presidents since the Chinese AK/ammo import ban who claim to support the Second Amendment. Both political parties play the gun owners and the NRA as fools. Pathetic

[choprzrul]

I had my FFL back in the early 90s. M14s $379. BWK-92 $159 in the flyers.

I still have my M14s and love it. never a single failure.

Funny how that works!

I bought my m14s from ades in 2007 for $850 on consignment. It was brand new still in the box with all the accessories. I eventually got rid of the box but I don't plan on ever selling it
