Video: Red Army AK-47 & Deactivated Enfields

Speaker 1:
Hey everybody, Ben with Classic Firearms here. Today is Monday, July 17. We got a couple things we want to show you today. First one is this right here on the right hand side, on the end. We have some RAS47 AK-47 Rifles by Century Arms. This is the polymer stock variation. It is basically their utilitarian rifle. Really nice little AK rifle. Polymer stock, that black polymer is impervious to any kind of rust, or damage, acids, anything like that. I like them because of that. Also, it has a good drop at the shoulder. It's a little bit elongated for the standard US shooter. Mostly these are really good price point. Right now we have these at a price that's never before been seen in the industry. Now they are not qualified for the rebate at Century has been doing, but the price point is incredible regardless, $449.99. So less than $450 for a really nice AK with some good features. It's got a bolthole open safety there, as you can see. It accepts all 30 round mags. It has this widened, really easy to catch magazine release on the bottom, which is common to the RAS series of rifles. There we go. Super smooth action. Black oxide finish, or I should say black nitride finish, which is a true blue, rather than a Parkerized type. So I think you'll like that. Again, great value. Right now if you're looking for an additional AK, or a workhorse AK, something you're not afraid to go out and put a lot of rounds through, $449.99. Moving right along, we've got one more rifle for you. This one is gonna be a little hard for me to describe folks. I'm a little unsure of this myself. Let me tell you the deal. These are some Enfield No4 MK1s. We ran some of these last week in pretty nice condition. Whenever we had Enfields, we always have a tremendous response to them. The ones we ran last week were firing guns. The work really well. Those were at $699.99. These Enfields do not shoot. These are deactivated, demilled Enfields. People always say, "What's the back story on them? Why are they deactivated?" You know folks, when I do the buying, and when I purchase lots like this, sometimes I get a story, but a lot of times I'm hesitant to pass that story along. Number one, I never know the validity of the story, because anybody can sell any kind of story. Number two, regardless, we kind of just like the guns to speak for themselves. So let me say these guns. We have a good example here. I only have about 25 pieces of these in total. Dylan is kind of scanning the table so you can get a good shot. Some are rougher than others, but all are in the kind of condition that you kind of expect Enfield rifles to come in. I'll show you this one when Dylan gets here. This one happens to be really nice cosmetically. Really good wood and so forth, but as I said, all of these rifles have been deactivated. Let me show you what I mean by that. Bear with me just a moment. Let me pull the bolt out. Let me once again check the bore. That one has a pretty nice bore in it. The bores are unobstructed. A lot of times when rifles are deactivated for whatever purpose; and many times it's to use them as props, or in ceremonies, or in the case of Enfields, many times they were used as a movie prop gun, in most of the cases when that happens, they go into and literally plug the chambers, either by pouring some molten steel in there that will set, or they will do a deactivation by putting a screw through the chamber so that it won't chamber a round. That's not the case here. If the camera can pick that up, these bores are all totally unobstructed. I don't know if the camera will show that are not, but there's nothing wrong with the bore. Everything looks good. I see Dylan trying to focus- I'm trying- It's just not going to work is it Dylan? I can tell, but you have to trust me. The bores are not obstructed. The bores are good. These were deactivated by taking the bolt, Dylan come in here close. You will be able to see this. What they have done, is they have clipped the firing pin, to make the firing pin recede up inside of the bolt face. Then they welded, basically put a heavy weld on the bolt face, and then came back and ground it flat. So instead of having a bolt face that a cartridge can recede up in with an extractor, and a firing pin there, this is totally flat across the front. There's no way that, that will pick up a cartridge. So even though it functions, I can put this back in the rifle, it still cocks and holds open, I see this one has got a little bit of a missing part on the rear sight. So I can see that, but even though everything functions as it would on a functioning gun, the trigger pulls, and so forth, there's no way it will fire. It's been deactivated. Now I don't know if there are other issues on these guns are not. It could be that with he proper parts you can get them working, but we're not selling them like that folks. We're selling them as wall hangers. We're telling you you're getting a non firing Enfield No4 MK1. Or No1 MK4, I always get that incorrect. It is a deactivated rifle. Let's take a look at another one. So we are making no guarantees on these rifles. Frankly, I have paid what I think is the premium for the rifles because Enfields are in such demand that I think these will sell regardless. We paid a premium, we're running these as a test case. If they sell, and we're able to get more, because I do have a chance to get a few more of these, but we don't know if they are going to sell. So we're running these basically a cost to test the market on them, making very little profit on this particular group of guns. If they sell, we'll know that there is a market for them. We may bring some back to market again, but it will probably be at a higher price, because at some point you do have a little profit to keep the lights on. At any rate, deactivated Enfields, this is a good sampling of them that you see here, $249.99. Now that's $250 folks, $249.99 for an Enfield rifle, but again, it has been deactivated. We are selling them as is, with no warranties. You assume the risk, but you see what we're seeing. An otherwise functioning Enfield, that will not chamber a round, or fire. So that's what we have here folks. If you're a collector, a reenactor, or someone who likes prop guns, this will be perfect for you. When you see these, they will be live to the site. We're going to set them for sale right now. Look under the ad for Enfield, and you'll see the one that says deactivated. That's the one you're looking at. Folks, we appreciate your business.
