Here is my Steyr import Maadi I bought in a little gun shop in Lebanon Ohio back in the early 80s. Today those guys are Southern Ohio Gun. I guess I should have offered to invest rather than buy guns...LOL Her serial number is below 90. Rather than being marked AKM they were marked ARM.
Rare Steyr Maadi from the early 80s.

I like that one a lot. They were bargains back then weren't they?
Re: Rare Steyr Maadi from the early 80s.
Actually they were anything but affordable in the beginning. When first announced the reports were a MSRP of $2000. It quickly dropped to $1200 but you have to remember the only other AK like gun on the market was the Valmet and it was not like the Soviet guns. I bought this around 1982 for around $800 which I was pretty pleased with at the time.. until the much less expensive Chinese guns hit the market and brought the AK to America for about $300...
