After seeing your post I actually added the barreled receiver to my cart and then checked around the site for other deals or things that interested me, came back to check out and the dang thing was out of stock! You must have got the last one.

the question is, are you actually going to get charged for it and receive it? I think PSA made a mistake on their site, they shouldn't be in stock if they were having headspace issues with their entire AKM line.
that being said I hope you get it and can check it out. I wanted to order one before they pulled their AKM line. I have everything I need to build it short of a spare AKM bolt carrier, $250 is a screaming deal for a 4150 nitride barreled US-made AK. you couldn't even build a parts kit up to that level of completeness for the same price. |

That was months ago. I'm sure you're good to go now. They posted earlier this week they would be back in stock - it wasn't a mistake. |

The following items in this kit are not 922r compliant: Bolt, Mounting blocks (trunions). I'm guessing it's no longer 100% American made (not that I'm bothered in the least by that). Glad to see them back, even if they're already out of stock. |

They showed sold out in about an hour so that leads me to think this may have been a mistake. However if not that's awesome for those that got their order in. I would be jealous and sad I missed the opportunity since it was so short.

I had to cancel my order because I missed the part that stated you had to be 21 to order. Another 2 months and I wouldn't have had any problems. I wouldn't figure these would be considered anything but a rifle due to the stock trunnion and the 16" barrel.

Nice, looks good. It looks like it was made the right way rather than be a Century-esque exercise in corner cutting. Hopefully these are going to be a regular item so I can pick one up down the road.

Don't like the looks of those rear trunnion rivets, but that's a minor issue. For those of you that order these and have the ability, I'd like to know if they properly set the front trunnion rivets or if they use the IO/Pioneer (wrong) method.

Yeah the rear trunion rivets are a minor gripe of mine. Also don't like that the mag catch is held on with a rivet instead of a pin. But no big deal since I wouldn't be buying this to be anything but a basic AK to blast with. |

What's the finish, paint? Paint over park?
And is that your thumbprint on the RSB, or that of the guy who built it? 
Looking forward to (hopefully) good reviews. |

Looking forward to (hopefully) good reviews. The receiver appears to be paint. If there is parkerizing under it I don't know enough to tell. It came with a coat of oil and I tried to wipe off the outside before I took the pics, but I am sure there was enoughleft for me to leave several prints while holding it. |

Not amazing, but not horrendous. I will say this much about the front trunnion, based on those photos I am at least 95% sure that lower rivet is in a properly dimpled hole. That gives me some added confidence by itself. I definitely want to play with one. |

I called my FFL and he said if the OAL was 26 inches it would be a long gun. ETA: I see it in there policies, but it says that its needed to complete the transfer. My FFL doesn't seem to agree. |

Perhaps not appropriate for the thread but I thought it's whatever the FFL puts on the 4473. If it starts as a pistol it can go rifle but never go back. If it starts as a rifle it has to stay that way. I've been wrong before though.
I'm curious when the non-railed barreled receiver will come in stock. These things seem like perfect raw materials since you can't have surplus receivers or barrels now. Just add whatever kit you've got and there's your clone. This thread is really interesting and I'm looking forward to what everyone turns theirs into. |

I won't argue.
I was just checking and saw their Intro Build Kit (everything minus the furniture) which isn't in stock but was last listed at $179. Man, for schlubs like me that's difficult to resist if everything would come in-stock. Sadly the last price listed on the non-railed receiver was still $399 like the current railed version's original price. Good gravy if they'd offer a Khyber receiver version I think they could print money. |

Yeah I'm sure I could've figured it out once it got here with my FFL. I just didn't feel like dealing with a headache if it didn't work out. I'm sure he would've been perfectly fine with putting a stock on it to transfer as a rifle. |

Not start an argument here, but even with a barrel attached, it is not a rifle and should be sold as an "other", which is why you have to be 21 to buy it. |
