Rare Steyr Maadi from the early 80s.
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.

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...
