AK Experts Needed- M70B1

[Gandalf]

I recently took an old century arms m70b1 on a trade, and got it for very cheap. I’m familiar with the old CAI WASR, and have had several of them and other aks, but never realized that CAI imported the m70. It seems to be older, and rough around the edges as expected with a CAI parts kit import, but I know nothing about these. Definitely higher quality than the old WASRs. It’s got the bulged trunnion like my Zastava m70, but it’s very different. Any info is greatly appreciated! Value, age, etc. thanks

Not an expert, but my understanding is that they are a quality AK.
