Your post contains almost zero information.
For most accurate assistance you will have to post multiple, high-quality pictures and list the Make, Model, Caliber and every piece of information discernable about the rifle in question.
This is the only picture I have at the moment, but I will take some more detailed ones tomorrow. It is stamped, not machined. I believe it is Belgium made, labeled as an AKS. Im just looking for a rough idea of what they are going for right now, but I will update with more details tomorrow.
Thanks

I don't believe Belgium produced any AK's. The rifle appears to be Hungarian from the picture. Possibly Bulgarian.
When you can transcribe the markings upon the weapon it should be much easier to estimate the resell value. The prices really do fluctuate wildly between the various types of AK's.

If I had to guess, I would say it is a Hungarian SA-85M.
The value on one of those, right now, would be around: $600 - $800 (depending)

Here's a few things that seem to go into pricing alot of firearms AKs being one of them. The more of this info you can provide, the more honest estimate we could give. Really good detailed pics will help as well.
-Milled or stamped receiver
-Factory built or kit gun
-Numbers matching
-Manfacturer of receiver
-Builder of gun
-Pre or post ban
-Accessories, furniture, ect
-Round count
-Overall condition

If you live near anyone you might be able to meet up with them at a local range and have them look the gun over if they know anything about AKs.
There's quite a few guys in NC and SC that, while not exactly experts, are definitely more knowledgable than the average gunstore clerk.

That gun is 100% Chinese. NORINCO = China

I can't tell you specifics since I'm only an acolyte and not a pope...
But I guarantee it is over $600 and may be as high as $1500 given that Chinese weapons (anything their military produces, actually, thanks George W. Bush!) are prohibited from import and "you can't get 'em anymore."

Wow, thanks. I'm debating strongly on selling it, just because money is tight at the moment..... but I love my AK. It has never given me a problem, never jammed, ect. I have a couple different pistol grips for it, and 1 piece Sporter style stock, 4 mags (20-40rd), and about 100 rd's of ammo.
I was just trying to figure out a fair asking price.

If you ever feel like being the owner of a couple of PASGT and ACH kevlar helmets along with some other random Army Surplus then I'd be more than happy to take her off your hands for you! :lol:
Do a search for Norinco AK47 on Gunbroker, It might help you get some idea.
