I got a great one from CFS. Very, very good condition. I refinished the wood myself. The dishwasher trick works great on the Hungarian wood. No stain, just a little sanding, wooling and Tung Oil. The kit is sitting at In Range right now. :twisted:

My FEG kit I put together on a Tapco flat out shoots all my other AK's.......Romy's,Polish and even my Global Trades 1.6mm receiver rifle I bought at CFS and It's close to if not equal to my Norinco's.....My NHM-91
might shoot as well....... I just got a B grade kit from Centerfire Systems
for $149......It was in really good condition.... some small chips in the furniture but the rifle looked fired..... but my Arsenal USA shows more wear on the bolt and carrier after 250 rounds....

You guys must have bought your kits from CFS when they first came in because the select kit I received in early December was not that great.
The wood was in such bad shape that I removed all the metal hardware and gave the wood to a guy at work. The finnish on the metal is about 70%. The bore is in excellent shape though.
If GT will ever get off their butt and send me my receiver I ordered on 12/2/05, I'm taking the kit to InRange and letting Troy work his majic.
The wood will be a re-finished dark brown Romanian set with palm swell lower HG and a Polish orange bakelite grip.
I would have sent the kit back to CFS but I wanted a cousin for my Kassnar UF with Russian furniture.

Yes, I got one when CFS first put them up for sale. In very good condition, lightly sanded the stock and rubbed it down with boiled linseed oil, lightly sand blasted all metal parts and painted them with flat black molycoat. It also keeps my other SA-85 FEG underfolder company. Love those Hungarian weapons. :grin:

Don't do it. I got 3 in today from CFS and they are shit. I opted for the hand picked and they must be getting to the bottom of the barrel. I've actually have 79 dollar yugos in nicer shape. They will be sent back tommorow first thing and I will be ordering some more yugos or romys unless someone knows of some nice staight stocks out their.

To me the big big draw on the hungarian guns is the silky smoothness of the receiver (and the bolt carrier sliding over it). Without the hungarian receiver, some of the other kits look pretty good.
I just got a romanian 'G' kit that must have been new when it was cut. Absolutely sexy, with a manufacture date of 1980. Still had a paper tube in the bore.
Plus, I try to like the hungarian grip, but I can't. I have a re-masculated SA85 with a cherry AMD 63 kit installed on it, but I had to take the wood off, in part because I can't hang with the grip (that, and my stock isn't up to par with the grip and the forearm that came off my SA85M). I put black plastic on it, and I like it much more now, even though it's not 'authentic'.
Aw, buy one, what the heck. :mrgreen:
