Small sample size for me. First build was a UF Yugo on an NDS, when they had the rust issues. That was a long time ago. Other than it needing a blast and black oxide treatment, it built well. Only real problem I had was the rear trunnion fit. The little rails were too thick and long, needed a fair bit of work to get them to fit.
Just built a Romy on a Childers. I think the NDS was more hardened as I could barely dimple for the swell necks. Childers took it better. But also flexed more, which made my rear trunnion holes off and some egging was needed. The stock tang needed a LOT of filing and still could use a bit more. Like the bend at the bottom was a bit narrow. I was worried about rail jumping, cuz it’ll bind at the rear when hand cycled (not the hammer), but I ran through about 100 rounds on my test firing without a hitch.
I have another Childers for an M72. Dunno yet on that one.
If I was going to buy one right now, I’d probably try the Recreator.
ETA: the NDS didn’t come with selector notches or marking, the Childers did. See below for finished products.
