Since I cant get the Waffen Werks ak74 I was after due to NJ's insane laws.. I am now looking at a Egyptian Maadi AK47.

 

Anyone have or touch on of these? How's the build quality/finish? How's it shoot? I've been told they aren't stamped AK-47.

Is there a way to add a side scope mount after the fact? The Maadi doesn't seem to have one.

 

Thanks,

Mike

If you want a Waffen Werks just order one. I stand by the original thread that they are legal.

 

 

Everything I've read about the Egyptian Maadi says they are pretty good quality. Egypt got all of the tooling from Russia to build AKs, so it is similar to a Russian AKM.

 

I have read they have some tooling marks on them but shoot well.

There alot of  fail in this thread.

You can still get the Waffen Werks

The maadi is stamped

It is not an AK47, it is an AKM

Side mounts are not an easy "bolt on" type of affair, I would just live with it and use it how you should.  No optics (or run an ultimak).

Keep in mind this needs the slant brake welded on and the bayonet lug removed.

Yes, the maadis are good rifles.

Okay so can some PM me the name of an FFL that will transfer the waffen werks?

Actually I meant the Maadi is not marked with AK*   I realize its a stamped receiver vs milled.. if that what you meant.

I just found a guy with this gun for sale.. Just double checking here its not stamped ak47.. but akm?   Would this be NJ legal if I have all other things fixed like removing the lug and pin brake?? 

...stampings don't matter.

 

It is not "substantially identical" to an "avtomat Kalashnikov type" if it does not have two or more evil features.

 

I am affiliated with JET Agent LLC and we would gladly transfer this and we can do the necessary modifications to make it legal

I'll send you a message thanks!
