MADDI
Maadi
Egypt AK-47 in excelent condition
Maddi is a good AK varient. The orginals (pre-ban
in 1982) were imported by Styer-Daimler-Puch of New
Jersey and had the full auto bolt carriers in them.
The ATF quickly stopped that, but an estimated 1500
made it in. They were later imported with semi auto
carriers both by Steyr and later by another importer
who didn't use the same high standards. They are stamped
receivers and it is said, they are as close to a Russian
AKM as you can get. They are made in Cairo on actual
Russian equipment. The correct finish should be black
enamel with reddish laminated furniture & either
a black or red plastic grip.
- The
Pre-Ban variation comes complete with a pistol grip
stock, bayonet, muzzle break, cleaning kit, sling,
and a 30rnd mag.
- The
Post-Ban variant comes with a Dragunov style stock,
cleaning kit, sling and 5rd mag.
- Many
people agree that the Maddi AK-47s have alot higher
resale than the MAK90 and are more desireable.
- Many
consider it to be one of the most reliable AK's
available today making it the perfect weapon for
rugged country
Beware! There are alot of fake "prebans"
out there!! Make sure it has a threaded muzzle, bayonet
lug, etc. The maddi's have been faked often due to
the amount of post bans that are out there.
AKM is the Russian term of:
Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizya , which means modernized
AK-47, referring to the stamped AKM
of 1968, versus the milled AK-47 of 1947.
