I have a Romy G for several years now and I really love it. It's a real jewel. The build is beautiful. while talking with a guy last week he told me as far as he knows Romy G's did not come in an underfolder. What is the story here? It won't break my heart if it is not correct but I just am wanting to know if these guns came in this configuration
Also how do I tell if this parts kit has the original barrel? the kit is a 1986 but of course you don't know when it was imported. Thanks Jay

This might be helpful in identifying what you've got. |

The 'G' kits were all fixed stock, with the handguard that had a wood foregrip. They all came with Romanian barrels.
This was back in the day were parts were cheap and plentiful. The low cost of the G kits means people used them to get the basic parts to build stuff in all sorts of different configurations. |

From Wikipedia:
Patriotic Guards version The most-produced civilian export variation of this rifle is that of the 'Garda' designation, produced for the Romanian Patriotic Guards. These rifles have a letter 'G' engraved on the left side of the rear sight block. The civil guard versions are modified by the removal of the sear and the modification of the disconnector to be semi-automatic only. Tens of thousands of these have been imported into the United States and sold as 'parts kits' (the receiver is destroyed by torch-cutting per BATF regulations – without the receiver, the kit is no longer legally considered a firearm). They are colloquially known among firearms enthusiasts as "Romy G's".
