Bought this over Memorial Day weekend and picked it up yesterday. This is the AK101 AKM version with the 1/2x28 threads, ended up being about $700 in total.

Im pretty impressed with the fit and finish so far. Rivets all look very good, as does the machining.

The magazine it came with fit ridiculously tight in the mag well but wore in with working it in and out. Also picked up 3 of the WBP mags they had for $10 a piece, those were a bit easier to lock in.

My plan for this gun is to run it suppressed with my Sierra 5, most likely will be using a KNS piston once I figure out which one I need. Waiting on a Jmac face mount muzzle device to mount the can on.

Time will tell if it has the same issues with the other AK101’s. I don’t have the means to put thousands of rounds through in a short amount of time but I will document the wear over time.
