Value of this AK?

[dirtyd]

Picked this up in a trade with some things a while back. Have an idea of value but not really an AK guy, first one I've ever owned.

It's a Legion Izhevsk Siaga, imported by Arsenal LV.

Has all Magpul furniture: over-molded grip, Zhukov side folder, foregrip (I have all the original synthetic furniture also)

1 Bulgarian circle-10 magazine.

Was considering selling it, not sure.

Not sure yet. Have 1k rounds also.

700-800 for the gun

200 for the ammo


How fast or not you steamy it gone can change things a bit. Also your location can effect the overall demand.

Oh hmm, I've not seen one on GunBroker below 1500ish yet so I don't think I could let it go for 800. I had seen them at 800 on Atlantic firearms and such but they're all long sold out since they arnt imported any longer

All good, I was just tossing out a ballpark.

Careful with Gunbroker and basing your value from it... They are infamous for inflated prices and are generally 20%+ what people will actually buy it for.



I've been keeping an eye one AK's and variants for awhile now as it will be my next purchase (I will buy one with wood though since I'm just not into the polymer look with them, nothing wrong with it - just not my thing). The absolute highest I've seen one listed for is $1200 and they sit in the classifieds here.

The ones that do sell seem to all be sub $1000 and most are in the $800 range down to $650.


I would browse the classified section here and go back to ones that have sold and you might get a better idea of what you want to sell it for.


This is all just my personal opinion and not meant as a slight or bias since I'm not in the buying mode currently.

What's the model number?

What's the model number?

Just found out it's an SGL20, had thought it was a 21. But they're nearly the same I guess

 

[filsonhand]

The SGL Legion imported by arsenal not fime group tend to be around 1200 area..

Your results may vary

 

[BATTERY]

Not under $1000 at all. $1200 to $1500 sounds right.

Go check prices on AK files.

Best way to determine value is post it for sale at the top end of what you're hoping to get. If it sells you're golden, if not drop the price as time goes by. It's worth what someone will pay for it. With all the slight variations in models and builds over time, you never who how much it's worth to someone until they're ready to hand over cash.

This.

It may very well be worth Y$, but that matters not if folks are only willing to pay X$...

Kind of like MSRP on new guns, vs Shop price.

It's worth what someone will pay you for it.... what's hot today is not hot tomorrow, etc.

 

[leadcounsel]

Without researching it, or looking at other answers, I believed about $1000 just the rifle.

Looks like the consensus is slightly north of $1000.

One more thing to add, the circle 10 mags are so-so and might lower value. I'm willing to send a couple tapco or promag 30 rounders to help add to the lust factor of your rifle...

Lol, I do know enough about these things to get that joke.

 

[JTrain]

Circle 10s are the highest quality polymer mags made.

$1200+ for stamped ak variant....no, ty. my 7.62x39 chambered AR-15's shoot sub-MOA reliably with wolf steel cased ammo and cost much less $$. PSA makes an ak similar to that one for ~$600
