Question: why are ak47s so expensive?
Answer: The lack of competition and choices naturally make these rifles relatively expensive. One is the US-made Century C39v2, the other is the imported Arsenal SAM7, made in Bulgaria. ... A Romanian-made WASR 10/63 or an American-made Palmetto State Armory GB-2 can be had for $600-$700, or about the same as many AR-15 models.
