Anyone know the quality of the Akron Armoury Polish kits both in 7.62 and the 5.45 Tantals?

I ask as I 'may' try my first AK build.

Anyone recommend a good receiver for the underfolder 7.62 kit?

Contact greentimber. Last I knew, he still had some of both left for sale.

 

[Greentimber]

Thanks for the nod, Corn!

I have gotten some nice kits from Bob and I have gotten a bunch of shit from Bob.


I still have some VG condition kits (3-4 I think), but I won't be able to ship for a while. I'd suggest contacting Dan at Dan's Ammo for a kit.

I picked up a collector's grade underfolder from Dan's and it is perfect. Brand new gun still thick with cosmoline. Bayonet didn't match the kit, but I don't care for bayonets anyway so it doesn't matter to me. Seems like quite a deal for 249 shippped.

Dan's kits are top notch. Collector Grade as well, 1980 kit is what I received and couldn't be happier with it.

I have received both Tantal and Polish UF's from Akron, great kits and great service. If you want I can PM you links to pics of both kits.

The UF is on the first page, the tantal...is built up and I am sure pic in my gallery somewhere.

Hawk,

Have no fears of purchasing from Akron Armory or Dans - both have top notch kits and are straight shooters. I would recommend you try a Polish 7.62 akms before the Tantal though.

Or better yet a Romy kit if this is your first one, there will be less cost all around, and not as much frustration if things go of course.

I've gotten two top notch kits from Akron.

Collector Grade Tantal

AKS 74 (Rifle coming home this week from the build)

 

[Hawk45]

Got TWO Romy's on the way for my FIRST build. I figured what the heck if one was fun then TWO should be even better! :grin:

May try a Polish folder for my third build though.

Good to see another addict getting hooked. Buy all the kits you can afford now, I doubt they will go down in value if you give up the AK habit and need to sell them off later. [yeah, right]

+1 Get as many as you can afford. Consider an RPK kit as well :wink:

 

[Hawk45]

Sell? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I hope y'all are happy feeding the habit of a new AK Junkie! :grin: Now where did I put that big ass hammer?

 

[vatolocal]

Doesn't Bob get his kits from the same importer as Dan?

 

[Neutrino45]

Can someone please tell me why that guy keeps on referring to Bar B Q? :roll:

 

[IronBack]

Thanks for the nod, Corn!

I have gotten a bunch of shit from Bob.

Care to elaborate?

 

[Greentimber]

I spent several thousand dollars on PMKMS kits after being assured of their premium quality. Upon inspection, a few were as promised, most weren't, many were shit. I took it in the ass on them.

The Tantal kits I bought were as expected.

This is when Bob, Dan, and ORF were working together. All I got from Bob were excuses, stalls, and lies. Dan actually gave me straight answers and did what he could to repair the deal that wasn't even his.

If you watch this thread and probably some of the other boards, you'll soon see people who've bought Bob's "BBQ" coming out of the woodwork to defend him and trash me for the above statements. I'd bet money on it. He puts on a good show and usually comes through one at a time. I'm not the only one he burned in larger purchases, though.

I am also someone who had troubles with Bob. It wasn't near the scale of Greentimber's problems, but was much longer in duration. As a result, I will never deal with Bob again. The way I see it, everyone seems to have one firearms vendor they have had problems with. Bob is mine.
