Frequently Asked Questions

Why are AK prices so high right now?

Current AK prices are inflated due to market insanity and panic buying. Sellers are exploiting fear, leading to prices like over $2,000 for WASR rifles and over $3,000 for Kalashnikov USA models. It's advised to stop paying these excessive amounts.

Is an Assault Weapons Ban likely to happen soon?

According to Rob Ski, an immediate Assault Weapons Ban is unlikely. The current political climate and Senate vote counts suggest a ban is improbable for at least the next 18 months, advising viewers not to be driven by fear-mongering.

What are good alternatives to overpriced AKs?

If you need to buy an AK-pattern rifle, Zastava rifles are recommended as a value alternative, typically found near MSRP ($1,100-$1,200). Potential import bans are less likely to affect rifles from NATO allies or domestic makers.

What are smart strategies for buying AKs?

Smart AK shopping involves avoiding Gunbroker bidding wars. Instead, check marketplaces like AK Files and Gunboards for better deals. Patience and research are key to finding fair prices rather than succumbing to market hype.
