Well for what it's worth, here she is!

Heard they are Bulgarian parts kit, on an Armory USA receiver.
Magazine fit is perfect, and no wobble.
Also the finish is great, just like a brand new gun,........much better than the Century Arms, and any of the WASR-10 Romanians I have seen.
As long as it shoots nice this weekend, I will be very happy![:D][;)]

    Just back to the house.
    Started raining bad out there around 3:45, but we had both had enough by then anyway.
    One failure to feed, and I am sure it was the soft points.
    I managed a slightly over 3" group at 100 yards off of a benchrest, iron sights only, and doing my best with all discipline.
    Most I fired off quick, and everything was within a 12" circle, offhand.
    Overall I am pleased, and I think that my results are typical, and maybe even better, than a lot of AK's.
    More than good enough for the intended purpose![:D]
    Now this thread can simply die!

    Check the barrel's chamber. I bought a nicely made U.S.-receiver AK that had failure to feed problems (especially with hollow-point ammo). The round would jamb with the bullet point at the face of the barrel.

    When I compared it to my foreign-receiver AKs, I noticed that the foreign ones had a small feed-ramp cut at the base of the barrel/chamber. I used a small Dremel tool to cut a similar ramp on the U.S. AK and it solved the feeding problem.

    I think the "new" AK kits used by some of the U.S. AK makers don't have the ramp-cut in the barrels. They should be making these cuts before assembling the barrel onto the receiver for better reliability in feeding, but don't take that step.
