sunsurp08,
As far as I know, NoDak only produced receivers for home builders to assemble their surplus AK kits with. They made many variations and I used a few on some of my first AK projects. I had no issues with their products. The value of your rifle is dependent on the tools, skills and abilities of the individual that did the assembly. Could be very good.....or very, very bad. Also, the nationality of the kit used will determine value. Polish, Bulgarian or Russian? Fixed stock or sidefolder? I even built a Bulgarian 5.45 on a NoDak underfolder for a variation never factory produced to my knowledge. Perhaps you could post some pictures of the details of your rifle so we might be able to answer some of your questions. I would wager pogi was quoting a price for a bare receiver not a built rifle.

I see. That makes sense. Im a novice. Thats why Im here! Thank you for the help.As an FFL, many times I sold nice AK-47's with the Nodak Spud receivers, they were known to be heavier gauge than the Century Arms builds
I have to say, that looks alot nicer then mine. I posted a couple of pictures but they arent very good. And I think theyre being inspected because Im new here.Yup.......

As I recall.....No Dak Spud marked their receivers differently for the various brands of parts kits that were commonly available (at the time).

Yup, that a US made NoDak receiver but that"s all it tells us. If you could take a pic of the side profile, trunion markings, barrel markings and flash hider detail it could tell nation of origin.
Thank you. I will but I wont be able to do it until tommorrow. Its in storage unfortunately. LOL> My wife is Very anti gun and I dont have a shop, so storage it is for my stuff!Yup, that a US made NoDak receiver but that"s all it tells us.

Thank you. I did actually read a little about this.BEWARE of the Polish Tantal.
Aloha, Mark
Pertinent info goes a long way, you should have included that in your post.$75 bucks??? Lmao. This rifle is complete. In really excellent condition in a case. The biggest issue it has is the wood stock shows some ( minor) wear. That sounds a little low....thanks for the input though.
LMAO! Thank you....mine doesnt say Century anywhere-- I guess that could be good or bad.Yup.......

PS.......I have no idea which parts kit was assembled using the NDS-21 receiver. Here is mine for a comparison.

The guy I bought it from said that the Century guys built it utilizing a Bulgarian parts kit. And Yup.....the parts looks like they are Bulgarian and it works just fine. No bullet tumbling with mine.
What's your gun worth?
Yeah......probably a little more than my graduation diploma from The Wile E. Coyote School of Gunsmithing. And BTW, here is a picture of a Century gunsmith at his work bench (working on another project).
