Default price check:norinco .223 underfolder

I just found a 223 norinco underfolder AK very good condition, guaranteed to function perfectly, pristine bore, $700 bucks. Worth it?

Sounds like a deal now a days. Seen them going for way more than that.

Even if/when prices start to go down and stabilize, 700 is not a bad buy for this rifle.

I never met a Norinco that I didn't like and when it comes to resale, you won't ever get stuck with it.

+1., good price. The .223 Chinese AK's are less sought after than the 7.62 varieties and the price reflects that. Mags and ammo are much more costly than 7.62., but at that price it is a very good buy.

the only thing i remember from that lates 80's Norinco 223 rifle was the brass came out badly nicked, but I did not reload then so it did not matter, I knew the cause and remedy, since I reload now I would have corrected that asap. yesterday on ar-15 two(2)mags 223 norinco were $95 shipped

I hate to say it ,,,but,,, I had one in the 80's I got for $149 with 4 mags, NIB, from a shop,,at shop prices.Tax included.

But then I also bought my 83 Chevy P/U for 8600 bucks new, delivered,, back then too,,,price, it's all relative I guess.

By today's standards, a good deal,,, I guess you'd say???

This panic is a bit crazy.. But once things settle down, I think we all have to consider inflation. Sadly..
Supply and demand. Plus no more Norinco's coming in.. Even the Chinese mags, I grabbed a bunch for $10 each every time I hit the fun shows.
Not just guns and ammo. Girlfriend does the shopping, I just pay.. Few times I do shop, seems like every damn thing is doubling in price.
Now gas is pushing the $4.00 a gallon mark down here again..
Were all gonna die, starve, food riots, get attacked by zombies..
Ah hell buy it mtdew, just do not let the wife see it..
"No honey I did not just buy that.. For Gods sake it has been sitting there for years. You don't remember that one?"
