Most maadis are crap. A very select few arentOK, so a few days ago I was in a pawn shop and they had an AKM - it was a MAADI - and I looked it over. They wanted $800 or so for it, and I thought it felt like a piece of shit. It was tinny, felt light and rattled, paint looked like crap (it was mostly there, but just like a toy or something cheap). The stock didn't fit well, I was generally unimpressed.
And THIS is a 'good' AKM???
