> If it looks like and ak and shoots like one It probably is one.Was it new or used?I know a few people that are heavily into shooting and thats the price he was selling it.

they are knockoffs now, they stopped making the real ones (from overseas) a while ago. my dads was bought new pre-ban model, so mabye thats a good deal on a used one. I misread.

Back to the AK-47. I’ve seen the same type of gun as you described at gun shows and I’m pretty sure this is just another case of a cheap Chinese  
replica. If you REALLY want an authentic, pre-ban semiauto AK-47  
(you’ll need a class 3 FFL for the real thing) I don’t think, IMHO,  
you want a Poly Tech.

Again, as mentioned earlier, any of the pre-ban configuration AKs are a  
lot of money for a pistol grip and threaded muzzel end, especially as the  
post ban MAK90 are functionally identical but have the thumbhole and  
unthreaded muzzel. And none of the AK variants by any country are  
precission accuracy rifles, regardless of the cost, you’re paying for  
Rambo image and increasingly expensive manufacture’s stamps.
