Title says it all. Any info?

Basic Romanian Single stack (no mag dimples) that is dremelled / opened up in the USA to take standard AK mags.
The furniture is funky.
I like the butt stock and pistol grip, but the forearm is a problem as it is completely unique to that gun (not anyway standard AK) and finding a replacement or spare is going to be near impossible.
The fore arm is a very thin plastic and does not have any heat shielding, so a Mag Dump or two and I think you have a real problem with them melting...
It has the the optic side mount rail (a +)
The front sight is completely hooded, which often makes it difficult to see it / pick it up, especially if the sight is anything but dead center.
Depending on the price they are decent, but I think there are better options for AK at that price point.

Picked up one last spring at a gun show. It's pretty accurate (for my eyes anyway). I like the look - polymer stock/forends. I did add some aluminum tape inside for a heat shield. I've read of people replacing them with a Tapco forend.

Owned one - got rid of it.
Plus side is that it did work and it was accurate for an AK - the furinture was modeled after east German - basically a gimmick and melted if sprayed with brake cleaner !

I like the one I have just fine.
I dont remember what I paid almost 2 years ago....but that will matter little now.
I did not have luck with some of the cheaper metal mags. I bought a few more of the ProMag 30 rounders (just like it came with) and they are just fine.
I do have two HEAVY 30 round metal mags that I friend gave to me that work just fine.
So far I have had no problems with it.
Good luck.
