Rare rifle night at the PAFOA...
For those of us of age in the 70's and 80's..
If you never seen one of these up close; you didn't miss anything. This makes a WASR look like a Weatherby;

Interarms used to sell these for under $700.00.. Almost ordered one via the BX, but to a married E4 in 1976, may as well been a couple thousand.

I'd take a newer daewoo and definitely the valmet. As for the metal shop ar-almost-15... that would be a big effin' pass. Same with the others.

Re: Rare rifle night at the PAFOA...
This one comes with one 8 round magazine.... why would someone make an 8 round magazine? If it was to follow the law of their country, what kind of morons arbitrarily came up with the idea that an 8 round magazine poses less of a threat to society than a 10 round? really?

Class III fun shoppe I used to haunt in the early '90's near Charlotte had a couple, and they wanted $3k (+/- as I recall) then for 'em! The ONLY AK out there that actually makes Arsenal & Vector AK's look 'cheap' by comparison!
NEAT finds!

I like the Bushmaster Gwinn. An AR type rifle for 300 bucks? How much did it sell for new? I guess it competed against the Mini 14.

Re: Rare rifle night at the PAFOA...
I recall a few rare birds from yore.
- CETME Ameli
- FN FNC
- FAMAS
- Bushmaster pistol (almost bought one)
- Gyrojet pistol
- Any unaltered military SVD in the US (my kids playing with mine)
- Sterling 18 or 180 rifle. Very underrated, as I recall.
- Thompson-Center Silver Elite edition of the Hawken (all stainless steel)

+1.
I was seriously scavenging for 7.2x39 & 54R in the 60s & 70s. Norma was the only game in town @ $20 per box of 20 rds. Good thing Norma was boxer primed. Got the stink eye from well-meaning shop owners more than once for asking for those sizes, tho. Ah yes, the good old "daze" of the Cold War. SKSs were very rare except for 'Nam bringbacks (and they *looked* like war refugees), AKs were almost unheard of here prior to '82-83.Gloria: "65 percent of the people murdered in the last 10 years were killed by hand guns"

Re: Rare rifle night at the PAFOA...
I'd love a K2. Pretty much what the current piston rifles are doing, only done 30! years earlier.
They came with different twists and it can be hard to tell what barrel you have just by looking. A guy at a range I go to has the thumbhole stock version and it it's a real tight shooter.
I think the K1 was direct impingement(?)
Love a Valmet as well although I'd go for one with peep sights.
Here's one I'd like to see more of:
