The are very good rifles , and are built with closer tolerances than the AKs , and they are built more like something made in Western Europe. But they are not NEW guns ,like some places were saying they are when they first hit the market ,I see some sellers now are calling them re-conditioned. And i have seen some that were well done by CZ ,but i have seen some real dogs also, This in that people ordered them from a photo they saw ,and when they open the box they have this look on there face like ,OOOKKKKK. I help out my FFL sometimes if she has to run somewhere or go do something ,so i have seen some come in. Most of the disgust is over the condition of some of the stocks , on the bottom fore arms they have a deep gouge in them like from rubbing on something when they were being carried. And how the lug was milled of ,in some cases that is crooked. The plastic trigger parts have been a problem ,we have had two come back where those parts snapped ,and we have had to replace mags from them not feeding right. And on the finish i guess if they didn't bake it right ,or de-grease it in a place it just peels off or wears off easily. My point is all of this really is simple stuff that a little more time and QC would have prevented on a rifle that cost this much. Some of the people buying them never had an AK ,and this gun spurred them to buy one being a CZ ,they come in and get the gun and buy a case of wolf HP , then come back angry because it jams .
All of these were the ones from CZ ,USA ,the ones from Ohio Ordnance Works are great , and i think they address these issues before they sell them ,but of course their rifle is much higher in cost ,and you are up in the range of an XCR. Bottom line is with all the press they got at first ,they didn't turn out to be the ,Wizz Bang ,wonders people were saying they were unless you pay more for them. And they are not better than some of the AKs i have seen in their price range ,but they could be .
We just ordered the compliance parts and keep a set of them ,some mags ,in case they come back on us ,and the parts and the finish problems go to a Gun smith to be done right , but we don't keep them as inventory anymore.
