I was warned about JRA in the past. I decided to take a gamble on one of their Polish circle 11 builds. Looks like it may have not paid off. Upon inspecting the rifle, I noticed the center support rivet doesn't completely flush and appears slightly canted where you can slide a business card underneath it. I decided to stop the transfer i'm considering sending it back to Classic. Before I do all of that, I wanted to see what everyone's input is? The rifle appears to have straight sights, the rest of rivets the appear ok, to semi questionable.

It's interesting I've compared my other AK's and none of them have a center support rivet that protrudes like that?

Not really a super important rivet, I'd be more concerned about the trunnion rivets myself.

Ugly for sure, but I wouldn't say end of the world here. However, if that slid, what else did they allow to slide?

The center support rivet swells when formed so it shouldn't be an issue even if you see part of the rivet head has a small gap under the outer edges.

I agree that the other rivets are a bigger point of inspection.

If you're in WA I think you're screwed if you're transferring in state
