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 .
