Smile Atlantic Arms MFG

Does anyone have experience with Atlantic Arms MFG made AKs? If so what do you think of their build(Quality, value, fit, finish. performance, etc). I decided on getting one of their Romanian builds and wanted so "last minute" opinions.
Thanks
Bnasty

I recently bought one of their Polish WBP AKs and say everything was pretty spot on. Rivets are flat and pressed correctly, finish is spotless, and feels like a well built AK. For value I would say you tend to get a good value for the money, especially as prices come back down to normal levels for AKs.

My only gripe is there is a slight cant i've noticed and the front sight post is slightly favoring right; but within normal limits for an AK.

I have two Atlantic Arms built guns and have bought from them six or seven times. Thier built AK's are very good, no complaints at all!

This is my Atlantic Polish VAF 47, built with a matching Polish parts kit.

Good to go for the most part and more visually appealing than a wasr but a wasr is far superior in terms of build quality

I decided to purchase the Romanian AK-47 Rifle w/ Refinished Stock Set. I'll put up a review ether when I get her home or after I've shot her a little. Depending on how I feel then(not how much I like it BTW).
till then,
Brian
