I see lots of underfolder Polish AKMS kits still around.
But no fixed stock Polish AKM kits. Anyone know of some in stock? Polish trash cans are my favorite.  Attached File Attached FileThese are not my trash cans. |

You can always get a Polish AKMS kit, sell the UF trunnion and stock assembly, and replace it with a fixed stock trunnion and stock of your choice.

Also, what's the word on the new Polish barrels coming out of the Radom factory?
They're chrome lined, hammer forged barrels. But the kits I've seen that included them don't seem to sell very quickly. |

Sportsman's Guide sold them for 99$ and APEX also sold them but for $125. IIRC, there were at least 2 variations of contents. The boxes have a lead seal so I don't know what's in mine (3 or 4 kits). Some people parted out the kits but most are keeping them as collectors pieces. 
If you google, there are a lot of pictures out there. ETA: I placed an order for more kits but the order was cancelled. |

I also have a VZ-61 armorer's kit, including the 5 barrels that were missing from the imported kits due to the barrel ban. I waited 1 1/2 years checking every day when Czechpoint USA would get them back in stock so I could buy the 5 barrels.
I also have 2 CZ-52 kits.
