Are these worth a hoot? Considering one as an SBR project. Centerfire Systems has em, btw.

Avoid it. Another IO train wreck.

"Polish by Radom"

That's like saying "American by Nashville"

Right. Produced in the town of Radom, NOT by the former state arsenal of the same name. Gotta love shady marketing

Interestingly, I emailed Centerfire Systems and asked if these were I.O guns and they told be these were brought in by Century.

When you click on the pic however it refers to it as a hellpup which as we know is IO.

IO doesn't build them. They're imported. Century probably imported some as well.

Still avoid like the plague.

not a Polish/Radom IO gun, but my Hellhound from I.O. had to be send back to the factory twice and finally replaced because the reciever was way way out of spec (rivet holes were off by 1mm, which warped the whole damn thing).

don't deal with I.O. products.  However, I must admit their customer service was very good to me before the "Panic" and during the "Panic", I gotta give them credit for that.  and I no longer own that AK, for the record.

I see Centerfire has them listed now for $500 through 1PM on the 27th. Free shipping.

This answers my questions. I knew there were issues.
