4 steals for 2/4/3 -- pix and deals.

[Bill Martino]

top -- 20 inch 40 ounce AK by Shanker. Handle repaired in the field. Needs a polish and some sanding on handle to bring it back to top condition. Full guarantee. Yours for about half price @ $100.

no 2 -- 17 inch 29 ounce very nice plain YCS by Sanu. Only problem is inlay -- couple missing. Otherwise perfect execution. Steal it for $100.

no 3 -- 18 inch two pound AK by Shanker. 10/10 with two minutes worth of rust removal. Steal this one for $75.

bottom -- 15" pound and a half Chiruwa AK by Shanker. Good rig, nothing wrong. Another steal at $75.

Call or email.

Amazing Steals!!!

Any of those would make for a nice workin' khuk...



but I've got one of each already...

Bill = the karda on that 20" AK (hiding) looks nice and big - are my eyes deceiving me?


Cute karda/chakma on the YCS, too.


Just FYI (for those not up to speed):

The actually order in the photo is:

20" AK
18" AK
17" YCS
15" Chiruwa AK

 

[Bill Martino]

About 6 inches oal. Pretty standard.

Need more YCSs... Sadly just bought a ton of .303 ammo. Good .303 at a good price is rarer than good YCSs...

Hi Bill,
I'm waiting for a 12" something, a Sirupati or a BAS,
and maybe a 15" WWII.
Do you know when may appear?

Regards,

giuseppe

 

[Bill Martino]

Never know what will turn up or when.

 

[gmonno]

will wait quietly.
stay well

YCS and Chiruwa gone.

Uncle Bill, I'd love to help you out with that 20" AK, but I am really trying to save some $ for the convention. Knowing that, I still have to look at every pix and deals thread you post. I am a masochist

[Bill Martino]

Convention first. We'll have some deals at the conv., too. No shipping, packing saves $$$.

 

[Bill Martino]

18 incher gone. Only 20 incher left.

BTW, what's the current deal with the YCS's??

Does "plain" mean no fullers, usual karda and chakma instead of Yvsa's tools, as well as no fancy handle work?

Last I recall, the YCS's were kinda on hold after the sad time of the soft edges last year.

And I recall that the number of YCS permutations had seemingly gotten out of hand.

The kami's prediliction to make whatever they will makes predictions difficult,but what YCS rigs are likely to become available or able to be ordered?

I'm confused, and probably have missed something as well.

 

[mPisi]

From the pic, looks like no handle inlays on either khuk or small knives, and no awl. Also brass furniture instead of silver. I thought the YCSs are pretty standard in the two grades unless it is something special like the chiruwa-style ones that came through back in October.

 

[Ferrous Wheel]

also, this one has no fullers, but seems to still weigh out about right. Sanu must've compensated...
