Hell, they've done all the hard work of building for you. I'd call that more of a field stripped rifle, you just supply trigger group and furniture.

The BIG question is whose barrel, & receiver.

Someone over on Reddit had one walk the rivets out of the rear trunnion.
To their credit Atlantic took his return and said they would rebuild the kit on a Childers receiver for him. |

The Romanian barrled receiver build had caught my attention as well, but I have not bought one yet. Who makes the barrel is a mystery, other than 4150 V steel and nitride; the item description states the receiver is a Morrissery.

The SBR Ready kits will be a barreled kit not a kit with a receiver , Below is an example of one of the Romanian AK kit that are head spaced barreled with a full 16 inch barrel.

I am extremely impressed with mine, which is the Hungarian model. Fit and finish is really good especially for the price. Had a bit of a greenish park job but that's not even a minor complaint, it was smooth and evenly applied. I did a quick rattle can black paint job, added the AK Master Mount and slapped some Tula laminate on it. The build quality is quite good from what I can see
Have to say I am really happy with it and it exceeded my expectations. We were effortlessly hitting a 6" steel hostage plate at 100 yards with irons out of the box

Yeah, Henry1, from your pic in the other thread, I wouldn't want that either. Those don't look like any rivet heads I have ever seen - they look bad. The rear-most trunnion rivet has a gap above it. They said they'd fix that with a rubber mallet if you sent it back? Dang.

Ok, what did I miss about the High Standard build? Link? I was directed to High Standard/Interarms customer service by the online seller, but didn't get very good service, in my opinion. In all fairness, the AK I bought was an Interarms and not a High Standard. But if High Standard owns Interarms, it's 6 one half-a-dozen the other in my book. But if they can fix a bad rivet with a rubber hammer, they might be more skilled than I'm thinking. Oh yea, that AK had the same greenish parkerized finish you mention. You can see for yourself in the pictures I posted of what I got for $679 plus shipping and FFL fees. If High Standard has made improvements, then good for them. But, again, I don't want to buy another High Standard/Interarms firearm. I'm not trying to give anyone a bad review for no reason; I had a reason. Once bitten, twice shy...

It is what it is, I don't have a dog in the fight but I just hadn't heard anything at all about High Standard so was curious if there were issues.
Funny though, because I am a 5.45 guy, I suppose I will not even shoot this enough to know if it's a crap build or not (minus the testing I will do on the AK Master Mount). I doubt it will see enough rounds to put any real stress on it, which ironically puts me in the same group as Century apologists

Quote HistoryQuoted: The majority of those wouldn't be acceptable to me if I were building it, but that's purely from a cosmetic standpoint. They'll hold just fine given the front trunnion rivets were properly set. I have a few atlantic builds from UZIs to AKs and all have been rally nice. I am excited to get a few of these kits... Atlantic any chance you guys will do a battle field pick up run? I love the beat up look... makes me want to stand on the mountains edge and yell WOLVERINS!!

Life is good. You can buy a new Romanian 2018 WASR-10 with slant brake, bayonet lug, perfect rivets, straight sights and free shipping for $550, from Centerfiresystems.com, which is equal in quality to my 2018 SLR-107. How does a 1963 Romanian fixed stock barreled kit for $90 less make sense? You still need furniture, trigger and safety.
