Okay, I am thinking of trading my home built AR15 for an AK47, but I need advice on what you guys think are the relative values.
Here's the background details:
My AR is a .223/5.56 Stag 2H upper (16" barrel, iron sights) on a Yankee Hill multi caliber lower. I put a DPMS parts kit in the lower, with an adjustable stock. Bullet button on it, of course.
I've put about 600 round through it and kept it clean. No real signs of wear like scratches or anything.
Total cost of the build at the time was right around $1000.
Also, at the time, a Century Arms WASR AK47 cost about $650 new.
My questions:
1. Would it be reasonable in today's market to want to trade my AR15 for a similar condition WASR AK47 and want $300 back on top?
2. Would it be reasonable in today's market to trade my AR for a similar condition but better quality Arsenal AK47 as a straight across trade?
Your thoughts and advice are desired.
