WTS...Valmet M76fs broomhandle folder

For sale is a rifle at the very top of the AK food chain. The Rolls Royce of AKs. A Pre Ban Valmet M76fs "broomhandle" side folder in 556 NATO. Very few of these are available in north America. I purchased the rifle from a LEO from Oregon who was cordinating a family estate sale. The gun was in the family since purchased new. Not sure what year. So I am the second owner of this rifle. I personally put 3/4 mags through it mainly to see if there was any function issues and simply to see how it felt to shoot this rifle.There were zero function issues. Everything worked like a Swiss clock and did what it was designed to. I have done some research and have come up with conservative present values of what I have. I will list the values and then post how much I am asking. I know everybody wants a super low ball price but the value will not allow that. I am honestly not trying to rip anybody off. I am just asking a conservative present value. This is intended for the serious high end collector and not a dreamer. About 6 moths ago I watched a month long auction on Gunbroker for one of these with just the rifle and 1 mag. At the end of the month the rifle sold for over 6K. With that said, here is the conservative price list. Also my asking price will include UPS shipping to your FFL. Please make sure your FFL accepts from a private person with my valid ID inculded in the package. UPS has changed their policies on shipping fire arms. In the past you could walk in with a copy of the FFL you were sending it to. But now, they require a pre printed shipping label "FROM" the FFL it is going to. Which means the buyer's FFL will have to e-mail me a shipping label. Then I can walk in and throw it on the counter and leave. Why UPS made this policy change is beyond me. I just had to go through this with another firearm a couple of months ago and evrything went smooth and the buyer received his item. If it does not move here it will be going to Gunbroker. I am willing to flex a little. Let's talk!
