So both packages I got from PK recently stink to high heavens like stale cigar smoke. What gives?

The KD lower I got from them smelt the same, smokey. Not a big deal as the smell went away and PK ROCKS! Fast shipping and seem to have the best in stock inventory.

I don't think it's PK. Generally, when cardboard boxes and old newspapers sit around for a long time, they get musty and smokey smelling.

Got a package from PK today. Definitely smells like cigar or pipe tobacco. Smells good and I got a chuckle out of it...

That's funny! When I clicked into the thread, I thought maybe you meant the packaging was poor - as both of my orders from PK had been VERY well packed. But yeah - I noticed the cigar smell after opening the carton and got a chuckle out of it. My thought was that "here's a place with happy workers", and happy employees tend to put out good products.

Just received my Vltor VIS upper from PK Firearms and the boxes definitely had a smell to it ... couldn't get it out of the house fast enough.
The VIS-2A-AK upper is nice though. |

I've ordered from PK for years, but never really noticed anything til this order (or I blotted it from my memory; it's been awhile since I ordered and I have a 18 month old daughter, guaranteeing poor memory).
Yeah, it stinks. I threw the packaging away in the post office. Including the cool looking color glossy fold-out poster / gun facts flier-thingy. Which I actually wanted to read, but was unwilling to let sit in my car or home. I'm pretty sure I know most of the information on it, but I already had other people in mind to pass it along to for 'persuasion reading'. |

I got a rifle from them last week and the gun and case stinks badly. Somewhat disappointing.
