Ok..I am currently bidding on a Chicom AK that has a receiver made by B West, Tucson Arizona. I have heard plenty of horror stories concerning these receivers, I have also read many accounts of people having no problem with them. These rifles generally appear to fall into two categories..those IMPORTED by B West, good to go. Those with a serial number beginning with 999...run away. ( improper heat treating ) The one I am bidding on is a 999 rifle. My intention here is to shoot it until it starts to egg the FCG holes, then rebuild it on a properly heat treated receiver.
My question is, has anyone had genune first hand experiences with these B West assembled rifles? There's a lot of 'I heard it from' on the net, and would like some serious feedback on this. Thanks!
