It's a SGL31-95. A premium Saiga rifle, built by Izhmash, and imported/converted by FIME Group.
FIME is a sister company to Arsenal USA and was created (at that time) to import/convert Russian imports, so Arsenal could concentrate on Bulgarian imports.
Arsenal's equivalent rifle was the SGL31-94 while they were the importer.
Very desirable and valuable rifle. Congrats.
Many thanks for the input! I’m trying to find completed listings on Gun Broker, but there aren’t many. Any recommendations on how to find out what it’s worth?
I literally can’t tell if you’re joking or not at this point. If you’re serious, realistically its $2500-$3500. But I’ve seen a couple (during 2020 and 2021) actually sell for over 7K on gunbroker.
It's hard to check completed listings on GB because these dont come up for sale very often. There are only a few hundred of the factory folders in country (and no more will ever be imported). These are as close as we'll ever get to a factory built Russian AK74M.
Shortly before the plandemic craziness you would see them selling in the 3-4k range on GB. During the 2020-2021 time period 5.45 got super popular, and combined with the high gun prices of that time, I saw a couple sell on GB in the 5.5-6.5k range. But that's not really the norm obviously. Now that Russian ammo has been banned, and 5.45 ammo pices have shot up significantly, the demand for 5.45 rifles has dwindled quite a bit. This has brought SGL31 prices back down to earth a bit (although still expensive rifles).
If I had one I was looking to sell right now I would probably "hope" to get around 4.5k, "expect" to get around 4k, but I wouldn't take any less than 3.5k. Maybe 3k if you were in a big hurry to sell or desperate for the $. It also depends on its condition, how many rounds down the pipe, whether you have the original box, etc.
I sold one in February of 2020 (god, I wish I had known what would happen, and would've waited a few months) with two Izhmash mags and an authentic drop case, no box or paperwork, for 3.4k on GB. I had 3.4k as the BIN, and the auction didn't last a day.
You could try lurking around on the AKfiles marketplace to see if anyone list one there to get an idea of current selling prices.
