    Old thread but I had to comment.

    I ordered one of these rifles along with a couple of the Yugoicon 24/47s in September.

    On top of Samcos legendary horrible customer service, they didn't put any of my info on the order. So when my rifles came in to my dealer they sat for about a month with no name or info on them. Even though when I kept calling them they said "its shipping and we cannot give you the tracking #".
    When I did pick these three rifles up, damn did they look AMAZINGLY brand new. Even the dealer commented how nice.

    I get them home and start to oil them up. To my surprise the blue rubbed right off on the edges and wear spots. Totally a crappy cold blue job. The k31 in walnut had much more wear spots on it after I oiled it. The yugos only had MINOR blue touch up but numbers did not match. Called them and their policy is that the bolt and action are considered "all matching". The other parts they do not consider. Very sketchy.

    By the way, the rifles were wrapped in plastic wrap with a shipping tag. Got a few new scratches in the shipping process from their lack of care.

    In conclusion, I have two Yugo 24/47s in walnut that have brand new barrels and great looking actions that match but mismatched stocks that don't fit very well. The k31 is all matching walnut but was definitely used but still like new. The cold blue touch ups and misleading terminology regarding numbers is not good business.

    I am happy with the rifles but very unhappy with Samco. I wont be using them anymore.

    *edit* All three rifles had a great very hidden and small import mark under the tip of the barrels. That's a +
