Quoted:
I had Saigaman2 of JBI Armory build this kit (K-var Bulgarian AK-105 barrel and Bulgarian AKS-74 parts) on an NDS-2SF for me. He has done some custom Saiga work for me before, which I have been very happy with. I am planning on picking this guy up tomorrow. I will probably switch the furniture out for all black polymer stuff, but I think it's still sexy in plum. I plan on SBR'ing this guy at some point, but the pinned muzzle device on it will have to do until then.
Looks great.
That being said, did you have any trouble contacting JBI or getting a response to questions? I left a phone message a week ago and then sent an e-mail with some questions a few days ago and no response. Im sure he does great work, but this would throw up a red flag for me when considering a "smith" for an ak build.
What was the turn around time for the build from when he received it to when you got it back?
