I've bought several AK type guns from Citizen's Armory.  All are nice quality, well built guns and I've been completely happy with them.  Darin, the owner, is a great guy too.

They are gtg.  

I have a Romanian and a Yugo underfolder built by them.  He used to come to some St. Louis shows but I haven't seen him around here in years.

I've done some business at their shop in Mexico, MO.


They're good people.

ETA: I was looking at an AK they had on the wall with plum furniture, I thought it was an Arsenal until I saw their rollmark in front of the magwell on the bottom

He built my custom milled underfolder AK 74 kinda crappy my LINCH cover wont work on it. Also Pins were small and the gas port drilled too big. (Way over gassed) I guess you do get what you pay for right? MY AK 74 is very corroded too like a true AK. :) I personally dropped off all my parts it up at his father's business in Mexico, Missouri. Just an honest look on the quality of my rifle. It functions though. Still need to replace the Red Star Arms Trigger that broke with the new one I got. He build these rifles in batches I wonder how business is for him these days with the panic crud? It don't have the orginal gas piston either a Romanian one is on it not the bulgarian one I had.

I don't know the guy. I have seen some receivers they made though. I would run like hell if their builds are anything like their receivers.

Just beware that if its a citizen's armory receiver it will hurt its value compared to a nds receiver or 74u LLC.  I personally wouldnt buy one, get an arsenal or a kit build from a better known national builder. Just my opinion.
