Got one of these barrels and had no problems with it at all. Some minor journal fitting, but nothing out of the ordinary. Barrel that I got also had the beveled feed ramp for hollow point as well which is awesome. Will be buying again.

Building a AKM 63, everything fits perfect, lower handguard location is perfect had no problem, suing ironwood AMD 63 stock set in beech, using thier grips on a AMD 65 build, The barrel is high quality at a decent price, will be buying another for a bullpup build I am working on next

this barrel is excellent as far as finish. i was impressed at how well they made it. works really well in my newest ak build. only problems i have run into when assembling is the notch for the hand guard retainer should be a tad further back or not there at all. having a gap in the grip isnt that big a deal, but it does stand out if you know its there.

Using barrel to replace the other one on my AK. Front sight is extremely canted. Since barrel is notched to fit the sights, I went with new barrel I can notch properly. Only down fall is the barrel isn't parkerized.
