Thanks for the responses guys. How would you rate the fit and finish overall? I am not expecting much for the price but Russian designed and manufactured weapons although not greatly refined, generally are tough as nails, reliable, and simple to operate. Can't find one in a local shop to eyeball and have not seen one at a local show so far. I find this interesting only because the AK action has demonstrated exceptional reliability. An AK may be the only auto loader that is less accurate than a Ruger mini 14 but in a short range scatter gun who is looking for precision. Thanks again for any opinions offered.
