Without going into how long I waited for the gun I will coment on its outcome. First I can say I was provided with a valid tracking # via USPS and it arrived 2 days later insured. It was also wrapped excellent and took near 10 minutes to unpack. The bolt was held back by a tie strap to avoid it bouncing during shipement. Now as to the actual gun it is absolutely PERFECT! The underfolding conversion is nicer than an orignal. The bolt looks to be polished and the finish has not a blemish. I will say it is the finest workmanship I have ever had done on any gun. I don't shoot much so I cannot comment on how well it shoots. In fact I am afraid to fire it for fear of scratching the finish. Good luck to those of you that still wait for your guns and I can only hope they look as well as mine. Gary I can only hope you learned some sort of lesson as far as your time restrains and fibs, cause you seem to be one hell of a gunsmith!

D.,

Thank you for giving a honest review, its much appreciated. I understand you were upset about the extended time, and I was sure you wouldn't be honest about the quality of the work to fulfill some sort of last vendetta. I'll say this publicly, I was obviously wrong in making that assumption. I apologize all together, and I appreciate the fact that you were fair and honest D.

As I have said, I'm doing everything I can to get caught up and I have been making great progress since I have now been allowed time to work in the shop. Hope you enjoy the Polytech D., thanks again.

I talked to gary this week. He mentioned shipping my rifles this weekend, but wasnt sure on wether he would get them out or not. I hope he does. Seems like more and more stuff is coming from SAI, and this review is good news.

Congratulations on receiving your AK!

Do you happen to have any way of posting pics? I know a lot of people would be happy to see them, myself included.
