Forgive my ignorance ladies + gentlemen but I am not versed on the Chinese AK's. Therefore, I am in need of your assistance to shed light on what I am looking at.

The aforementioned rifle is being offered to me locally for $900. Per the seller, "B WEST TUSCON ARIZON 7.62X39" is marked on the receiver. Outside of that, I only have photographs for your folks to analyze.

Thank you in advance!

B-West imported and built rifles.

If it says "Made in China", buy it.  

If it says " Made in USA", run away.  Bad receivers.

I don't think this is a Chinese gun. Wrong rivets and none of the usual markings on the left side of receiver. Looks like maybe Chinese parts kit on US receiver or clone gun.

I agree with the above. If it is a "Made in China" gun with B-West as only the importer, $900 is a great deal. If it is not "made in China", then it is a B-West manufactured receiver with Norinco parts. The B-West manufactured receivers were not heat treated and the rivet holes will elongate with continued firing; not a good thing, in which case, you will have paid $900 for parts, not a good deal at all.

Rivets above the trigger look incorrect.
