alot of the Yugo kits have shot out barrels.. the ones that are advertized as dark bores you really have to be careful of.. the one i recieved , you could take a pulled bullet and drop it from the chamber and have it fall out of the muzzle.. with little effort.. this one was trash so i made a dummy display
wall hanger out of it..

are there any russian AK's out there? maybe a parts kit? Underfolder?

Yes there are..

This is my 1950's AKS 47 I built this a couple years ago from a Sportsmans
Guide Kit.. $159.00 ,, its built on a FiringLine reciever ...
now days the only Russian kits avaliable are going to be found on the auction sites.. (at quite high prices)
Mine has its origional finish.. just well cleaned.. after all this one is over 50
years old ... so it should look like it...

Remember,, this is a Kit assembled rifle.. so no C&R... the reciever was made in 2004 ...i dont matter how old the rest of the parts are.. its the reciever
that is actually the gun..
will these kits guns ever be C&R?? good question !!

My AKS (less the reciever) was manufactured in the 1950's.. after it was demilled and imported as a parts kit back in 2002-4 it was not a gun anymore.. just parts.. when i rebuilt it with a new reciever in 2004 ... it became a new rifle made in 2004... maybe in 2054 it may become a C&R I wont be around but hopefully my grandkids will still own it and it will be a C&R for them...
