This is a PRE BAN Egyptian Maadi AK47 imported by Steyr of Secaucus, N.J. in the early 1980's. These are some of the most sought after AK's on the market as they were built in Egypt on tooling that was designed and setup by Russian engineers for the Egyptian government and the machine operators were trained in Russia on how to properly operate the machinery and assemble the rifles. These were the same style of Maadi AK's that were used in the 1980's movie "RED DAWN" as they were the closest thing to a Russian built AKM at the time that could be bought in the U.S.
