Recoil Gunworks has these for $799.00; What are your thoughts?
I do not currently have an AK, however I know Radom built rifles are considered to be good guns. https://www.recoilgunworks.com/shop/pioneer-arms-polish-ak47-762x39-sporter-39788 |

Radom is just a city in Poland. Pioneer Arms utilizes it in all of its marketing in order to be confused with FB Radom, the military plant also located in that city. Pioneer uses (or at least did) shoddy manufacturing practices akin to IO Inc. I would put that money towards PSA, Zastava, or a WASR.

Their manufacturing went through an overhaul a few years ago, with forged trunnions etc. they are no longer like IO. I have one I bought for 800 a few months ago and have put roughly 1000 rounds of brown bear. Not a single hiccup. As a matter of fact, after a quick adjustment of the front sight, was hitting 300 yard steel plates pretty consistently from bench.

Are they still riveting front trunnions with the barrel installed? |

They are still riveting the front trunnions with the barreled installed. The one I got a few months ago, because I foolishly thought they have switched to forged front trunnions after reading that on the internet, has a cast front trunnion.

I purchased one new that is an IA, and absolutely love it. Very accurate, reliable, and excellent quality. I did replace the furniture with original Polish wood.
