yeah well I'm sending my piece of s#*t back. I was a TI type 81 ball rider but have soured now and all you straight rifle guys that say oh just shoot your bent rifle be happy and your standards are to high well is it really so much to ask that I get a f#*king rifle that looks straight to the naked eye overall (not talkin about the furniture) for 1000$ is it really so high of standers Really guys REALLY!!!
This!!! I don't understand how this is such a difficult concept to understand.
And to whoever doesn't drive a car and drives a pickup truck, the question doesn't change, if you bought a new vehicle, especially one that was hyped up and you had to wait years to finally see how pissed would you be to find the frame isn't straight and that it might be potentially unsafe to drive?
For the "collectors" most of the people who really wanted this rifle preordered it, some of them were happy with what they got, others hate it, and the widespread nature of this bent rifle along with whatever other issue just like the t97 means anyone on the fence has long jumped off and is running for the hills, so the number of people that want this rifle is really small. Yes the supply is small, so is the demand, so sorry to burst your bubble but a collectible this ain't. Before you use the norc ak, that's because that's an actual ak, this is one of those rifles that just showed up, and then disappeared with no notable history. For all I know the Ugandan special forces or some other nobody nation might still be running them, don't waste your time pointing it out, nobody of note ran them, even the chinese dropped them in short order.
As for the vz, No they aren't worth the 2grand, but it is a demonstrator of relatively low supply and high demand that prices will go up, the vz is a fairly prolific rifle, not to the same level as an ak, but it has combat history even fairly recently. You want those prices to go down. Stop paying those prices to get one, that being said a kodiak vz858 or a csa would be a vastly superior buy to this even at its $1200.
