Ak 47 Serial Numbers Romanian7890823
May 06, 2010 I have never seen any serial number data for preban AK's. Since they were imported from at least (3) different countries, during the mid to late 80's time frame. Mostly by different companies that are now out of business, you might have a hard time obtaining them.
I've got some interest in a Poly-Tech AK, but wanted to know if it's a pre/post ban rifle. It's in the hands of a person, so I want to find the specifics on it to be safe. Anyone know of a serial list for these? If any of this helps, it's an under-folder, very nice looking, have the serial number.
(PF-085##) The bottom stamp is 'KFS Atlanta' and has all wood furniture. From my limited knowledge of AKs, all KFS imports ended in the late 80s as underfolders. It's out of box, a little nicked on the furniture, he doesn't have a bayonet or anything he could find. (Rifle, sling, mags.) Obviously used, but no clue on how many rounds through it.
Just like to know what I'm getting and if it's worth it! It's it a Legend Polytech (milled receiver), it's worth $1200 to $1500 in 80% to 90% condition. Bricscad license key serial. If it is above 95%, it is getting closer to $1800. A stamped receiver Polytech in the 80% to 90% will be in the $750 to $1000 range. And more if in better condition. If it's a stamped receiver, it should have a folding bayonet. It's worth less without the folding bayonet if it's a Polytech.
Different parts of the country command different prices. I just gave you a ball park figure for what I've seen. I have a Polytech Legend folder with the Type 1 bayonet and several Polytech smooth backed, chrome follower mags, Chicom 6 mag chest pack, and all the paraphelnia it came with. It should bring over $2000 looking at the prices on Gunbroker and GunsAmerica.

The Feds measure the OAL with the stock extended. No problem there.
