    I have an opportunity to pick up a novak mod 47 underfolder for 475.00,
    Is this thing even worth that?
    After doing some internet research, I understand these these are considered junk.
    It is marked m70 ab2 also, could I do a reciever swap and save this thing? Or pass?
    I was told the bolt sometimes hangs in the open position but fires fine.......any advice is greatly appreciated. 20220206_100932.jpg 20220206_100853.jpg

    That's a yugo kit build. Appears to be a screw build. It could probably be saved by removing the bolts and riveting. Check the barrel. Use a bullet in the muzzle to do a quick check to make sure it doesn't swallow the bullet. Also check the bore for rust. Yugo barrels are notoriously garbage. Otherwise, 475 is cheaper than any kits on the market. Armory 219 specializes in AK builds and repairs and could take a look at it.
