If it was a "pre-ban" Norinco or Polytech AK, i.e. pre-'89 import ban, I'd say "no way", its a bad trade. But, if it is a Polytech or Norinco imported originally with the thumb-hole stock and no bayonet, then I'd do the trade for a good Mini-14. Personally (key word here), I hated the castrated thumb-hole post '89 imports and I especially have no use for AK's in 5.56.....personally.
