The rifle feels solid. You can tell there is a little more heft to it with the thicker receiver. I ran about 80 rounds through it today, testing out mags. I used pro mags, tapco, some steel surplus, and the two steel mags that came with it. All fired with no issues. This rifle is a lot of fun to shoot. I recommend it for anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced AK.
I did spend a lot of time cleaning off gunk and metal shavings. The pistol grip will end up getting replaced. Minor issues, IMO. Here are a couple of pictures from when I broke down the rifle for initial cleaning.
