Looks like you picked up one of the more recent imports of Chinese carbines from Albania. Take a careful look on the left side buttstock, there may be faint numbers visible.
Value without the cleaning rod and kit? $275-325.
You might pick up $50 by selling the stock and extended mag.

Well thats good. I picked up everything in the photo for $200. Also the guy i got the rifle from has had it for about 10 years. So im guessing its not the more recent import

You got a very good deal on the rifle. It will be a hoot to shoot. I agree, sell the plastic stock and the mag and use the proceeds to buy ammo. The stock it is in and the mag that is in it are better than the stuff in the pic.

I kind of wonder if maybe you've got an Israeli Capture weapon there. If you take it out of the stock, you may find some fine sand along the barrel channel, or in other niches and recesses. At 200$ you did fine.
