Not to hijack this thread, but I noticed at the atlantic firearms site they are selling the armory usa/global trades 1.6mm recievers rifles for $569 are these really better than the standard 1mm?
I have a Global Trades SSR-85C built on a Polish AK kit. I paid $550 for it about 6 or 7 years ago. While it is my prettiest AK, with a beautiful parkerized finish and nice blonde wood, its accuracy is only so so and it had some reliability issues with the factory installed buffer and a broken disconnector. (dont bother with the buffers, they are a waste, unnecessary, and tend to cause problems)
I had to put a windage adjustable RPK rear sight on it due to the front sight being maxed out to the left when close to zero. Its a personal thing with me, but I like the front post in the center, or at least pretty close to center.
While the furniture is pretty, the stock isnt the correct length, its just a tad long, and it doesnt have a trap door in it for the cleaning kit.
For the extra money, it would be nice if they used better trigger group parts. Hopefully, they have also figured out the barrel timing thing. I'm suspecting its also the reason for it not being as accurate as some of my other AK's. I dont know how many are out there, I really havent seen to many people post about them, so I dont know if I just got one thats a little off or if this is what to expect from them.
