Trying to find info on AK

Looks like an Izhevsk made Type 2 or Type 3. We'll need some more pics to determine value

Welcome to the group!

There is another thread where someone asked about a rifle he was interested in, and it showed how important pictures are. He saved money by not buying a rifle that was not what the owner said it was.

In your case, it would be so much easier as PeaceSells560 said if you posted more pictures, especially showing all markings. Thanks!

The markings don't look authentic, and the handgaurd is not flush against the face of the receiver. Looks to me like someone tried to make a russian copy.

I agree the markings are reproduction

Yeah, the markings are too crisp to be authentic. Still looks nice though.

Engraved serial.

Nyet!

Barrel pin hiding under that star

Engraving was done with a ball mill. Reproduction all the way. valuation would be parts kit price +300-$500 give or take

Need more photos to ID what it really is ... inside etc.
It has a lower front cover ... that combined with its a press and pin barrel, if I had to guess it might be a welded together Bulgarian.
Most anything else - Russian - Polish - Hungarian ..... original would have a thread in barrel
If it was a Century or whatever off the shelf milled AK it most likely wouldn’t have the lower front cover.
