Quentin, this rifle will weigh approximately 9.8lbs when fully loaded with a 30rd magazine Sir. A fully loaded 30rd AK Magazine will weigh 1lb 12oz to 1lb 14oz as has been measured here : https://www.ar15.com/forums/AK-47/Fully-loaded-AK-mag-weight-/64-164151/
A full 30 round AK mag can range from 6 to 11.5 oz, depending on the Ammo used and the magazine and the material used to make it. So on average, a full 30 round mag would add maybe 9 ounces to the gun's weight, which would make this one weigh approximately 8 lb, 11 ounces.
The 16.5" steel barrel has a threaded muzzle with 14x1mm LH threads and a rate of twist of 1:10". It has a 30+1 capacity, weighs 8.1 lbs, and has an OAL of 36". mag and 30 rounds weigh in at 1.25 lb for a total of 9.35 lbsor so
Quentin - Sorry, I blew that one! Tried to change my answer and it would let me. Depending on whether you had a poly mag, or a good ol' Russian/Bulgarian steel magazine, it would be anywhere from 9.5 - 10 lb.
