Well it took almost 2 years to buy one, but now I finally have one of these newly manufactured No.4 based 7.62x39 carbines.
I won't be able to go to the range until Sunday unfortunately, so I have no idea as to how it will perform. However the reports to the gun store owner have been quite favourable apparently.
As to the workmanship? Well from what I know these rifles are partly made in Vietnam and the U.S. and overall the workmanship is pretty good.
I'm actually surprised that these rifles only sell for Aus$895. Rem700 ADL rifles sell for around Aus$1000 and Steyr Scout's sell for $2300. So its defiantely good value for a 'general purpose' rifle.
Obviously the market for a box mag fed 7.62x39 Enfield Carbine wouldn't be that immense in the U.S. ( due to the availabilty of Ak's and SKS's ), but it definately has generated alot of interest here in Australia.
A couple of bonus points to this rifle is that it came with a picatinny rail as standard and it takes SKS mags.
Although I was only dry firing, having never used an Enfield before, and utilising the middle finger trigger pull trick, I must say - damn that action is fast!
