Doubt. They're not in the skinflint cup anymore. And these days people that are buying an AK just want an AK they're not buying it because they're trying to save money on ammo we haven't had those days for over a decade now. AK may have been a skinflint gun in. 2004 but once wasrs went past like $700 that ended that notion.
Think more like SKS, mosin, etc overpricing. Theres not a huge supply of the guns. And people want them for semi nostalgic reasons now or cool factor.
