IMullon 1 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was planning on getting a Draco or Mini but it seems these have really dried up in the past few weeks. Anybody know of a place to order one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dieb4iwake 60 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 try classic arms or atlantic firearms BTW nice pic of "popcorn" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fumes 84 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I started looking today as well, the price has went up and the availability down, go figure. Like I need an expensive hard to find money pit. This should be fun. IMullon. I'll race ya. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony1 5 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Yeah l didnt want one when they were readily available for 300-350$. Deciced l wanted one a few days ago and nobody has them or there 500-600$. Id really like one for 350-400 out the door, when l get up to near 550-600 after ffl and shipping, ehh, not so much.

ScuseMePrincess 23 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I was seriously thinking about getting one until I discovered the wonderful world of Saiga and purchased my S12 on a whim, then double dipped and got my S223. Now that they're getting harder to find, I'm thinking I should get one now before the prices get gouged any further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rs51085 136 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I ended up paying about 510 out the door at a local shop about a month ago for a mini. I think the cat is out of the bag on these. I don't think they will go down below around 500 for a while if ever. If you are in the market for an sbr these are about the best way to get one that is pretty good quality and inexpensive. You also get a dimpled reciver and all new romainian parts. The best part is that century has not screwed with it at all other than importing them. So the argument could be made that these should cost more than the wasr rifles do. At 500 its still the best deal going for a ak pistol. Good luck finding one. I think I read somewhere that more would be coming into the country around april. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun12 205 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) I am also looking to get one but right now my current project is a sporterized Mosin Nagant with an AK 74 style muzzle brake, ATI Scope Mount, and Monte Carlo Stock. I would go ahead and get both but i force myself to have some self control and not to blow all of my money on my growing firearm collection so i am going to wait a while to get a Draco.

MT Predator 2,294 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Get them while they are hot, so to speak, and available. Otherwise, be prepared to pay more. Who knows about future imports? They might end up being worth a "King's Ransom" like the Krink kits did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StealStick 17 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Mini draco for $525 I can't have one since I live in MD though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IMullon 1 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Just snagged a New in Box Draco on from "an auction site" for 475, I'll be out $526 after Ship/CreditCard/FFL. NOT BAD FYI Atlantic does not have them despite advertising them at the top of their homepage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fumes 84 Posted February 4, 2012 Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 You win. I could pay 3/4 now and get one in 12 weeks. That was the best I could do, fock that! I'll find one somewhere, someday. Post pics when you get yours. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulry 50 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 IMullon, That looks great! Is it a Century? How is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fumes 84 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IMullon 1 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Yes its Century, but as I understand it they just import it and have nothing to do with the assembly. Can anyone confirm this? I added a black pistol grip i had laying around and did some filing on the dust cover as there was some interference with bolt carrier/ charging handle. I'm planning on adding a sling using a loop of parachord on Pistol grip bolt. The gun has a great compact feel when handling it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NM0 586 Posted February 12, 2012 Report Share Posted February 12, 2012 Nice Draco. Don't believe Century wrenches on them. Do know the mini's are supposed to be untouched. Straight imports. Had to remove some metal and bend dust cover on mine a bit too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rs51085 136 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 My mini had what looks like all new romaniain parts in it, no tapco trigger. I don't think they touch them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berzerker2 19 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 I am also looking to get one but right now my current project is a sporterized Mosin Nagant with an AK 74 style muzzle brake, ATI Scope Mount, and Monte Carlo Stock. I would go ahead and get both but i force myself to have some self control and not to blow all of my money on my growing firearm collection so i am going to wait a while to get a Draco. Mosin Nagants are a great deal and I did almost the same mods you're thing about. As for Draco's... J&G maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan6864 11 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) Id like to get a mini but they are hard to find...been on the fence between the draco and mini with the draco it is only 4.5" shorter. For me that is not really worth the $200 stamp to add a stock on it. Now the mini on the other hand, from what I have read you really dont see too much of a difference in FPS. These werent made for anything past 100yds anyways. For me the prices are just way too high for these SBR AKs, I saw a Yugo M92 parts kit by Vector Arms going for $1500 at my local gun store thats crazy.

IMullon 1 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I just found another Draco locally, anybody want it? PM me Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 PM sent. If anyone else knows of a place that has the draco mini (in stock) please pm me and let me know. Even if it is a local shop that would be willing to ship to my FFL. I am ready to purchase and can't find one in stock anywhere. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aubie515 2 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 I have one for sale in PA...I just don't feel like shipping it since I'm selling it as a package deal with mags and ammo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 That's a shame aubie15, because I would be interested but won't be driving to PA. Any chance you want to drive to Birmingham, AL to sell it ? J/K. Good luck on the sale, I don't think you will have problem finding a buyer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
