Nice AK! Have a few nice variants myself, but haven’t been able to track down a Preban at price I can live with!

That's very nice but probably above my pay grade, love that wood. I am actually searching for a wood stocked WASR right now.
I have a nice Romanian G underfolder with an early Nodak Spud receiver. Gave $700 for it. Also have a Saiga AK-74 Sporter that I converted to a pistol grip, metal side folding stock, new trigger etc that I have maybe $400 in it. Recently got a VSKA Trooper that I decked out in FDE Magpul furniture. About $825 in that one. So, if I can get that WASR for somewhere around a $1000 my self-enabling math says that I will have an average of about roughly $750 in each rifle and in today's market that ain't bad.
I have to grow old but I don't have to grow up...

That is a very nice AK  8) I love the factory 66 marking. It looks like a 1991.

I settled for a just post-ban (1994) MAK-90 four years ago.

Importer is Sile, Ny Ny.  Yes very nice one. Has small crack in upper handguard that was fixed no finish where it was sanded. Probably a good thing as I can now make it match myself.
