Yeah, it all depends on the manufacturer, country (yugo, chinese, russian, etc), condition, and accessories.

The price has gone up a bit in recent years (I was hand picking the yugos for $120 several years ago, and most were excellent condition)

Right now you should be able to get a decent yugo for about $200-$250, but they can vary from about $150-$500... lol.
Check out gunbroker.

ha! Most of the long guns in this state it wouldn't even matter. (unless the serial is ground off. I won't screw with those.... lol)
Rifles move around a lot in PA, and with no limitations on private sales and no registration... it has to go back to the original 4473. And that's usually a big "if" after a couple owners.

Lol. I try to stay away from Guns because if it's not one I have or one I wan't I don't know much about them. Besides It's a more limited market and your not supposed to use CL to advert

Ya know.... he could get a nice used AR15 for around $650. I'd be looking into the CMMG. (maybe even a decent custom build)
