They actually found my rifle!! I don't know how or where yet, but they found it and sent it back to Elite Firearms. Dave called me and told me the good news and it shipped here a few days later UPS. I got it on the 12/22 and am still in disbelief, but I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth. My AK was returned unharmed and the work Dave did is Fantastic! The fit and finish is Top Notch, from the gas block conversion to the Duracoat finish my AK looks like it was manufactured at Arsenal Bulgaria instead of Elite. Well worth the money and the wait! I am so impressed, I'm getting more parts together for another ELITE build! If your lookin for a smith with the complete package, Dave @ Elite Firearms is the way to go! Took it to the range on Christmas eve and this thing is a BAD ASS! What a Christmas this has been! Thanks to all the response to this thread, I know you guys were feelin my pain. I posted some pics as attatchments. Haven't figured out how to put pics in the thread yet! Belated Merry Chrismas to all!
Thanks
