I don’t like the sound of this.
This guy actually makes Krinks from flats. on RT.1.
He's done some work on one of my Saiga's that another popular NES shop botched the work on.
Would recommend.

I bet he's excellent. How are his prices for smithing work?
I can't help but notice that his retail prices are... I'll just use the word "optimistic."

Is it a kit build or something? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Bulgarian 74 underfolder.

Could always go with something like this if your goal is just to get a side mount and don’t care about being a purist

That would be nice, except for the message plastered on his front page.

That's good to hear.
I called him once about an AR180 he was selling, asking if he could drop the price from "butt-rape astronomical" to merely "horrifically astronomical," and he said no. Because he'd "just gotten it in."
Mind you, I'd been looking at it on his website for at least six months at that point.
He still has that same rifle on sale at the same asking price, and it's been several years now.He's mega old school. All I can say is he does what he says he'll do and he knows how to metalwork.That's good to hear.

In terms of being a businessesman, for sure not his area of expertise. He should be another ratworks or nodak spud. He has the skills for it. But looking at his location he's happy with it but it's for sure incredibly limited growth/expansion/etc.
Yeah, I drive past there all the time. I can't believe a nationally-recognized 07 guy works out of that shack, but to put it another way? It looks exactly like the kind of place where a gunsmithing Yoda would hang out. I wouldn't hesitate to bring a gun there if it needed work.

Can i vote for a Bulgarian mount?
Mine was paint that the vendor didn't block off the barrel at all and got f***ing paint in the bore/chamber. I'm lucky it didn't explode. Was having extraction problems. He got all thar shit out.
I reached out. Thanks.This guy actually makes Krinks from flats. on RT.1.

Well, if you wait a few more with inflation and all you'll get it at a bargain rate.
