The USA made Guns are stamped made in the USA on the left side of the receiver below the trunion, on the reviewer. If you see "Made in the USA" stamped on the gun, Do NOT BUY IT.
THEY ATE SHIT, AND THE SELLER IS TRYING TO PRETEND IT WAS A PRE-Ban imported gun.
No gun Made in China would have made in the USA stamped into it. Those are shit kit guns,
Do not buy.
B-West is known for making some of the worst made American receivers ever made. They lose their bluing very easily, and I am told that they were not heat treated, and literally, "shoot out." However, they also did import FULLY Chinese assembled AK-47.

The complete Arsenal Made Chinese guns are as good as any of the others. But you must beware not to purchase one that is a Made in the USA B-Werst. ( Yes, B-Werst)
The B-West Chinese Imports are stamped Made in China on the left side of the receiver, and B WEST on the bottom of the receiver, in front of the mag-well.

Like the picture below.
Mine is hand stamped AKS 7.62x39 sporter mfg by 386 norinco. These are on the left side. Underneath it reads B West LA CA China. Anymore info on it would be appreciated
ReplyDeleteI have the same markings on mine. Bought it new in 1990 IIRC.
ReplyDeleteI got a B West import with just the import mark on the bottom of reciever. 3 digit serial number only on bolt carrier and receiver. Only other stampings are "AKS 7.62x39mm" no other markings rifle appears to be unfired and covered in dust.
ReplyDeleteI have one too with only B West LA CA China, AKS 7.62x39 and a 3 digit serial number. Can’t find anything else about it
DeleteI have a B-West US made that I got in 1990. The rivets were poorly done and eventually had to be replaced. I did it myself and heat treated the holes. Its now one of my best performing AK's. The B-West US made rifle is very rare now an if you can get your hands on one its well worth it as you can always rebuild it or sell as a very rare parts kit.
