| The price looks right anyone try these yet. CB |

Buddy built a KP at my house recently using one. Trunnions aren't quite 100% to spec––rear dimensions are off just a tad, i.e. the main latch's hole has to be reamed with a drill press after riveting in order to get the latch through. Hinge pin is an absolute BITCH to get in too.
If you're in a hurry, there sadly isn't much else out there to go with. If you're patient, though, you can still find the real ones (not poorly-made copies from an undisclosed asian location) at a good price. I picked up a true Russian (rolled edges, ribbed butt) for my KP for 100 bucks, all hardware included (front latch too). |
