How have the kits been from gunthings? Just ordered my underfolder kit and they promised to check for matching serials before sending it out. This will be my first build... I love underfolders :) Are the polish AKs park or painted? thx |
You can get them both ways. Who did you order yours from? |

Just got my gunthings.com kit. Was advertised as Very Good w/ Excellent bore. The bore is as described, definately excellent. The kit is all matching numbers except for the bayonet, which is not even close. The finish on the metal is pathetic. It was a black spraypaint, but mostly scratched off. I don't think I would call it very good. I've bought surplus rifles from Big 5 that said they were "good", and i'd say this looks like one of them. The slant muzzlebreak is in the white, the finish is so worn. The handgrip is excellent though. Im gonna durakote the thing and make it look nice once i build it. |

My kit arrived tonight. Here's the thread with pictures: www.ak47.net/forums/topic.html?b=4&f=51&t=83841&page=1 |

Not sure, I'll have to double check. I noticed some part numbers are missing the first digit, but I've seen this on my other guns too...why? no idea. Anyway, so far the bolt, carrier, barrel and trunion, cover. There were more I saw when cleaning but I can't remember off the top of my head. Anyway, as long as those are right, thats all I was hoping for. BTW, the polish finish (purple dye) ran off like water when I degreased it. Thats the worst finish I've ever seen. I think I'm going to just blue it when I'm done. |
| I just got my new Polish AKMS parts set today from Akron Armory. Like new just as described. Looks like it's never been shot. To bad they had to just paint it. I will probably refinish the whole thing anyway because that paint they put on it scratches off way to easy. |
