Humm, well the tool kit with spares does add value but I'm not sure it adds enough value. Is the tool kit serial numbered to the weapon by any chance. That would make it quite a bit more valuable. Also what all comes in the kit? Spare gas tube, springs, trigger group, bolt, etc.?

For dollars perspective I gave $475 for an unfired AG42B. Really unfired since it left the factory, zero carbon in the gas tube, no signs of brass and ammo wear on any internal parts or the bolt face.

I really think that $600 price is about $100 too high even given the tool kit. It's very top end on prices. OTOH, they are making anymore of them, you know. They never made very many of them either. Interest in these and Hakims is going up very fast in the market.

3 years ago nobody had any interest, but now it seems it's increasing. Possibly to forums and people being exposed to them for the first time on said Internet fourms.

My point is even though I think it's high . . . you're young, time will pass and and the value will go up. Someday I think the $600 price will seem dirt cheap. Just like the guys that bought M1 Garands from CMP for $100 bucks and now they are $520. I can remember the $100 Garands, I worked for an asshole that got one the first year I worked for him at that price. I got to shoot it. It was mint but it wasn't very accurate. Still I'd take that rifle. I almost bought it from him for double the price but didn't. Big F'ing mistake. This was 1982.

Ultimately it's your call. Have you seen the weapon, handled it? What do YOU think of it for the money. Back in your court now! Hehehe! ;)
