Vector has been known to make some really nice AK variants. As with anything you can find someone who has had issues, but personally I have had good luck with Vector made firearms and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

SA93 milled AK for $425 NIB was a deal
SLR95 NIB for $550 was a deal
As well as SGL20 for $449

Have always had good performance out of anything Vector I've come across, got two of the AK's now. I like'em.

I also contributed to the auction. Apparently about 300 of the guns were from a single estate. Almost all were NIB. The guy liked guns, would buy something that struck his fancy and put it in storage. I bought (among other things) one of two Excel MP-22 .22 magnum semi auto pistols. The magazines were still sealed in a blister pack.

There were some good deals on ban type AK's. And I did carry out a NIB Arsenal/Saiga SGL-20 for $200 less than cost new

Do not know if it is true ,but we talked to a guy Friday night at the preview and he said the guy that had the 300 guns didn't have any ammo for anything.

You did good. Vector normally run in the $600+ price bracket. They have a well earned reputation.

So, now it is time to get her out and get her shooting!

Sorry I don't know

 

[indykid]

Yes that SLR95 is milled and sold for a price that hasn't been seen in many years.

 

[Chippp1961]

All I can say it that auction was an experience. They sold a gun at the rate of about 1 a minute.
