Going price for Valmet M78/83s

[the radium king]

for $16k you think the shipping would be free ...

instead in the ad you get more talk about shipping cost than you do about the gun for sale!

 

[enefgee]

I offered a guy $6K 5 years ago for a NIB x39. He turned me down flat. They've always been expensive.

16k for a stamped valmet is insane. Get a type 81 lmg and call it a day

Yep , that would be my take on it as well . I guess it depends on how much disposal income that folks have laying around , and how fast they want to spend it .

 

[aldy86]

I thought they only sold for these ridiculous prices in Canada because of our ridiculous gun laws?

 

[Ceiferiro]

I bought all my valmets within the last 4 years and not once did I pay over 4.5k for one...


And that included an m78 in .223/5.56 with 6+ mags

You would be entirely correct.

A Valmet is the only legal AK available to CDNs. Lots of demand, little supply = high prices.

I suspect this one will sit until the ban just like arm and gun. He will be stuck with it and naybe hes ok with that who knows

I think I saw one going for like... $9000 on ####### a few years back? But yeah, most I see getting sold are well over ten thousand.

These aren't getting banned right? At least it gives me a lifetime to save up for one..

I'm sorry, but in your lifetime all guns will be banned, except for those used to keep you in line.

They are still around. I have a few, and a bunch of parts imported from Finland. Going to convert some to M76 and M71 Clones. NR of course. the 7.62x39 will be a black folder m76. I happen to have extra barrels as well so all clones will be reversible. The two bottom left are M78/83s. Obviously one does not have the correct furniture or scope, but I am actively looking for them. The other is mint and completely correct. All in all I have a dozen so thankfully they are not banned..........yet

 

[FLHTCUI]

There are one or two in the EE as of last week...
O/ne for sure, but you might have to scroll back to see if there is a second one.

..... there are unicorns, but are they really unicorns if they don't function?????

Some ":unicorns" function extremely well provided that they are fed a diet of suitable ammo.....

That’s one hell of a collection!

I just finished a deal for the polymer on the EE which is mostly correct. Am lucky as I have the correct scope, flash hider and bipod to complete it.
