Wow.  For the price above a dark bore underfolder kit, it's damn worth it.  Mint bore, bright with sharp rifling.  Furniture is in beautiful condition.  Tight as hell underfolder stock.  I get the impression this thing was looked at more than it was shot.

I just sent a dark bore kit back to CF last week, and it's replacement will be here tomorrow.  I had expected light rifling and maybe some frosting, but the damn barrel was rusted down to about a 22 caliber.  What I am trying to say is that the rust was that thick on the inside.  I was shocked to see such an otherwise beautiful looking AK have a bore like that.  I tried to clean the rust out, but to no avail.  So, just like I knew they would, they said just send it back and we will replace it.  The great thing is that they sent the replacement kit out the same day I sent the junk kit back to them.  Their customer service has never disappointed me, especially Lois.

My kit looks like it was used a fair bit, but the bore is in good shape. I suspect CF learned the hard way that grading kits and selling them according to said grades can be more trouble than it is worth. If I ran a kit importing business I simply wouldn't promise anything to anybody and sell all kits at the same price. I wouldn't try to predict the likely condition of kits that have yet to arrive at the warehouse either. Alas, it looks as if I'll never get the chance to run such a business.
