well worth it if you ask me iv been looking to build one with a crutch side folder for a while now and the the stocks alone go for $300 plus and this is a complete kit hasnt seen anyone state if these are unissued demills or used surplus kits like the polish underfolders from last year.... but ill let u guys know when i receive mine.... i hope to put this one a nds receiver but right now im not sure what receiver it fits on

This means MAADI was contracted to demil the rifles.

From what it looks like they actually did and put in a parts list and packaged it as well!

Crutch folders? I've never heard of them. Are they any good? Are they expensive? Might buy one as an investment if the stock is worth some money.

These will sell out fast and already have at other vendors.

A crutch folder sold on ARFCOM last week for $175 by itself. It is the cherry of the deal.

The Egyptian crutch folders have been notoriously scarce for years.

The real cool thing about these kits is that Maadi themselves did the demil and they packaged them and included a parts list.

lol figured this would change ur mind and i just saw that alantic firearms has the same kits for $20 more and they actually come with bayonets too late for me but you guys can get on it still

just scored a pair of polish blanks for this build pre hardened unlike the others out there should make for a fun build

 

[GunGunDin]

Where did u get the blanks from?

 

[duffman0286]

Well the blanks u about can find anywhere centerfire, ak builder ect but hardened there a guy on akfiles selling them professionally done not spot hardened i couldnt pass on it at $55 shipped a blank

 

[Denny347]

Seems like a lot of money for a parts kit that requires a receiver AND a new barrel. It's just a bunch of parts. The good kits no longer are imported

 

[GunGunDin]

A kit build sounds super fun, like, buildind a model that u could shoot.
although I'd want to get pro to give it a once over be I when to the range

I didn't think many Maadis made it in the country before all the new rules.

Since the Egyptian government is not really friendly to the US anymore, I think this could be the last shipment of Maadis for quite some time.

I just want the Arabic on them.
