I've heard that Tennessee Guns brought in 3,000 to 5,000 AMD-63 kits in excellent condition, and they went to Centerfire.

Brand new M70 kits, both underfolder and fixed stock, are due in before the ban.

Matching # unfired new 5.45mm Bulgarian AKSU-74's.

Dear Friends,

After months of hard work and relentless efforts, K-Var does it again!

As promised K-Var employees, buyers, and board members will work tirelessly to provide our patrons with the best quality and newest parts available. Due to the new BATF ruling on barrels, our latest shipment of 5.45x39.5 caliber AKS-74U parts sets was time sensitive.

In order to acquire these parts sets to our valued customers we had to overcome numerous difficulties.

• The BATF barrel ban importation deadline of September 10th, 2005 made our task seem impossible.
• We decided to take a gamble and go for it, in hopes that we could import the Krinkov kits before the deadline. We voiced our opposition about the September 10th deadline with the Fair Trade Group and were successful in getting the deadline extended to December 31st, 2005.

• To add more obstacles to our mission, the Krinkov kits were not available from the military surplus.
• As a result we purchased brand new rifles from Arsenal Bulgaria’s factory stock.

• Properly and accurately de-milling the Krinkov kits without drilling out the rivets.
• In order to preserve the quality and integrity of the parts during the de-milling process we had to ask the BATF for a variance to enable us to deviate from normal de-milling procedures. The factory created custom jigs and worked long hours around the clock to de-mill these Krinkov kits.

• Obtaining an export permit during Bulgaria government elections, when an export committee was not functioning.
• This created a major problem, staying in constant communication with Bulgaria; we were eventually able to receive an export permit.

• The embargo placed by the ocean freight lines on weapons, related parts, and ammunitions from the Black Sea coast.
• In order to receive the Krinkov kits in a timely fashion we made arrangements to have them transported to the U.S. via chartered aircraft.

We are extremely proud of our latest accomplishment, as no other company that we know of would even consider going through all of this effort for their customers. Our highly valued clientele, most of which are advanced collectors and AK enthusiasts, would prefer to have the absolute best products available, that is why we have gone the extra mile to bring these kits to you.

The 5.45x39.5 caliber Bulgarian Krinkov kits are brand new from the factory, not the military surplus. The kits include an eight inch barrel and even though we did not receive magazines with the rifles, we are including one thirty round magazine form our current stock. The regular price for this Krinkov kit is $699, as a valued MIG/ETA forum member you’ll receive a forum and online order discount making your price $649.

Friends, this is it! These are the last de-milled Krinkov kits to be imported! We would like to thank Arsenal Bulgaria, Bulgaria export committee, everyone involved to make this sensational accomplishment happen. Thank you!
