A bubba attacked an AG42 and it's worth 2g??

[DaveGP]

I've had 4 or 5 of these over the years when they were worth $150 - what happened?

Take out the 'dot' and replace it with a . and close the gap.

The link works

I started buying them back in 79 when they were $69.00 each, and nobody wanted them because of the calibre. The ammo was hard to get, and expensive.

Brass was hurled with great enthusiasm - and usually mangled up the rim. Not to mention the puff of gas in the face, and watch your fingers around the action!

And they slam fire with soft primers just like the Hakim.

 

[Dodosmike]

Just sold a minty one for $1100.

Never had that problem - they have a spring loaded firing pin.

Me neither, not 1 slam fire.

I remember buying tham at Le baron's for $89 in the 80's and they had Norma Match ammo that was berdan primed that was fairly cheap from what I remember.

Spring loaded firing pin doesn’t matter, I have had it happen and it resulted in a out of battery detonation.

He's on the pipe and blaming trolls lol

p.s., Have had messages from trolls trying to diminish the value of my gun. Please be an adult folks. I’m not an expert on the history of this gun, and if you are, don’t try to put me in my place.
The price is the price. If you don’t agree with it, that’s your prerogative. Don’t message me and try to make me feel bad about the price. If you can’t afford it, don’t message.
I think someone must have hit these trolls in the head or something. Lol

 

[Potashminer]

Ha! - the scary thing is if he finds someone who will actually pay that price or similar - then what?

at allan Lever's pld store lol

I've owned a number of these over the years . I don't think I paid more than $ 300 for one and that was about 4 years ago . I actually gave it away to a buddy of mine . They're interesting rifles and people will pay what they pay , not sweat off my back . As Eaglelord17 pointed out , the AG42's would occasionally suffer from out of battery detonation . I know of two cases over the last 20 years just at my gun club , they don't like soft primers . I never worried about it , I just used appropriate primers . That being said , a $2000 asking price may sit for a while . I picked up a Rashid for considerably less than that , which , by the way , is far cooler than a AG42 lol .

Well, the first one is sold so somebody knows something.

He dropped his asking to $1000 and it sold
