    I have no self control, & you are a bunch of enablers. My wife is gonna kill me when the boxes arrive and I won't be there to intercept it.

    Why don't you find out how they are being shipped and and have them held at the distribution center (Fed Ex or UPS) or at the Post Office (USPS). Then pick them up yourself. She will not have to lug them up the stairs.

    Perfectly safe. Very early Chinese stuff was scary, pre 1950ish. Once Russia started giving China the tooling and technology in the early 50's it's got infinitely better. Their stuff 1950-1980's is purely awesome. Once we started importing commercial arms in the late 80-90's did the craftsmanship go down but it was still very safe and reliable. Just fit and finish on their commercial stuff past the 1990's was fair.

    This exactly, once they stopped using LITERALLY pot metal, everything was cool and the gang

    I saw a post on gunboards where someone from AIM was stating they came in from Albania in the spring with some SKS and M53 rifles shipped with chunks of cosmo. They had to partially clean them to see what they had and evaluate over the months.
