Has anyone ordered either the fixed stock or underfolder kits from Centerfiresystems? If so were they any good ?i.e wood, finish, barrels . Or is it a crap shoot on what you get? If someone knows of a better supplier for these kits please let me know. Thanks

It was not offered as an option when I called Pam, nor was I aware that centerfire would do handpicking, otherwise I would have asked. However, that is why I ordered two kits...one to build, one to go "crap, that barrel is garbage!" and for future spares for the fixed and folder Yugos I will have.  |
| I got mine last week and finally took a good look at it tonight. The M70AB2 underfolder finish was around 60%-80%. Most of the wear was on the front of the barrel and gas tube. Wood was suprisingly good. Bolt and carrier looked like new. When I looked down the bore the first time it was black and not very pleasent looking. Then I cleaned out the bore using mineral spirits to get the cosmoline out for a better look. The first few swabs came out pure black. After a few more swabs, I looked down it again with the bore light and just about blinded myself it was so shiny. It was brighter than some of my chrome lined barrels. Rifling was not perfect, but still in good shape. I am very pleased with it. |

I got a fixed stock stamped kit from http://www.ammunitionstore.com/ it was $79 plus shipping. (They also have milled kits for $59) The wood is nice. It has some carvings in the stock from the soldier that carried it. It has a dark bore and passes the bullet test. The bore is good enough that after a it fires a couple times it should be fine. They have "hand picked" if you want to pay for it. I took a chance on mine and Im really happy with the quality. I can post some pictures later. Now if thet would only get in some more underfolders! |
