Just a short note to all those that forget ... I've seen a "Krebs" rifle with a canted FSB ...
Also have read many post here and other sites about Arsenal and many other "high dollar" rifles with canted site blocks and gas blocks ...
It's just that the Romies seem to have a higher % of screw-ups ...
I have 2 Romanian RPKs and the workmanship and fit is excellent ... Seems they lost quality control in the last several years ...
I have several SARs ... Some are straight and I fixed some of them ... no big problem ...
I'm replacing the gas block on one now ... I Need a bayonet ................................... (NOT)
I still say they (Romies) have the best receiver around ... I've been pleased with mine ... Pleased enough to outfit some with Russian wood and Bulgarian plastic ...
Maybe one day I'll buy a real AK ....
