Hungarian AK-47 Question

[RTFM]

Taking a look at it tonight, two questions....

A) Good country of MFG? (again Hungarian AK-47)

B) 300$ for rifle and 4 mags 2 are 30 rnd other 2-?
Good price if it's in good condition?

Hungarian ak are well known to be some of the best stamped ak around.

Seems like a good price for my area.
like new/new=$400-450
very good/excellent=$350-400
Those prices usually include 1-2 mags.

I have an sa-85m postban w/legal pistol grip conversion and it's one of my fav's.

Browse the ak-47.net forums They have a dedicated Hungarian/Bulgarian area that can be very informative.

I've had a couple of the milled Bulgarian AKs, and sold them both. They were heavy and not particularly accurate. Fit and finish was also unremarkable though infinitely preferable to the Rumanian SAR and WASR rifles that you see coming in these days.

My Hungarian (SA-85M) is still in the safe--I have no plans to sell it. It's finished MUCH better and is smoother all around than any other AK I have handled. It is also more accurate than either of the Bulgarians I had and much lighter.

I have the older version that came with a thumbhole stock and the wood is nice and fitted/finished very well. To top it off, it's made for a normally sized adult. I have been tempted to return it to pistol grip form, but can't bring myself to remove that wood. It's very pretty besides being very ergonomic.

I think you could get $550 or more for one in new condition depending on your area. That's what I sold the two Bulgarians for...

I have 2 pre ban Feg's and they have 'adult size stocks ' too. They are very light , I can't remember if they were lighter than the Maadis and Norinco's I sold in 1999, but they are much lighter than the 2 Yugo 'AK47 under folders I have , maybe 2 pounds. I have never had any trouble with them. I keep them to form a local defense force if gun confiscation or other doomsday senario's occur. The triggers are very light and I can get 3-4" groups at 100yds on a good day. I matched them up with PA-63's (actually one PA-63 and one RK -59) both good hunkies aye?

Seems like a steal, don't see too many of these anymore. Shooting buddy of mine had one of the one's with the blonde thumbhole stocks, that was a NICE weapon. I'm not too concerned over fit and finish on a AK but it was still extremely nice, for the same price as a SAR I'd jump on it.
