I purchased my Valmet M78 (223) for $775 from A. Lever back in the day. It would also work with Galil .223 magazines. They are not worth 5K, the fit and Finnish (pun intended) were superior to any of the other AK designs I came across. The M76 was the one I really wanted, back then they had restrictions as well. Rarity is why some peoples pay so much. Sadly, I sold mine and all I have left are some photographs......case in point, Guns are for shooting and collecting, not selling, I learned my lesson.
