First off, welcome to the G&G forum.

Secondly, I'd have to agree with jmp8927 in that pictures of what you're considreing trading for would help greatly.

Lastly, if even after the pictures get posted, it's still in the end up to you as to whether or not you want to make the trade. I'd ask, do you want to keep your Ruger or do you want to trade it? Why is this person wanting to trade? Why are they not wanting the SA-93? Can't you just buy the SA-93 and just keep your Ruger? Anyhow, it's your gun, you can do as you wish. You can keep it, you can sell it, or you can trade it??? It is you that will have to live with whatever decision you make...

I assume this is a milled receiver. Does it have the thumbhole stock or is it in pistol grip & buttstock formation?

Quick look on gunbroker got me the below link. Personally, I wouldn't pay that much for any AK-47 varient(or original for that matter) unless it was capable of AR-15 accuracy.

yes delta-3 it is a milled receiver and it has wood thumbhole stock and forearm, nothing really to look at. it does look likethe one jmp8927 found on gunbroker. what do you think?

Well your Ruger even new was what? $400-500? For what he is offering with the rifle you'd be getting a fantastic deal! If the rifle is in excellent conditon, it could bring around $600 + (easy) & with the accessories he's offered even more.
Those Arsenal milled rifles are THE BEST AK's made. Period (Chinese & Russian are very close).
If you want an AK, that is a great one to get. You can always do the 922r compliant game & change it back into it's original look for very little money or keep it as it is.
Let us know what you decide.

Read the sticky at the top of the AK47 forum, that's why they're sticky'd: (Sticky Submission: AK build and modification legalities)

Just noticed that BRG3 did not mention 922(f) as he should have; it's part of the Import Ban that he mentions in that thread.
