Had the urging to have a AK pistol for a long time, and unfortunately the 94 AW ban interfered with my plans. I sent a virgin receiver and a "gun-in-a-bag" parts kit from K-var to POHF, and within the short time quoted to me, I ended up with a fantastic pistol that far exceeded my expectations. The whole job was a custom assembly from start to finish, not just a "re-rivet" from a demil parts kit. Assembly, fit, and the finish were great, and the pistol functions perfectly, and it's literally a blast to shoot. I plan on making a SBR Krinkov the same way, and will be sending my work to Mario and Gavin again!"

Piece of History Firearms took my Arsenal SLR-105 series side folder. They pay attention to details. The quality of their workmanship is excellent. I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants a quality Kalashnikov. They do good work, and are easy to work with. They were very helpful and will do what it takes to please the customer.

I finally got a chance to shoot the AMD-65. Talk about a head-turner at the range. I've been looking through my insurance records out of curiosity and found I've owned at least a dozen AKs in the past 20 years, and none were as well put together as this one. It hammered the steel plates at 100 meters with marvelous consistency (even with my bad eyes) using a mix of old Chi-com and Wolf ammo loaded at random. It burned up 5 mags (150 rounds) without a hitch (feral hogs beware!). Now I've got the itch for a "74 folder. Honestly, I wouldn't consider getting a Kalashnikov from anyone else. Thank you for an outstanding job.

I wanted to let you know that I'm VERY pleased with the weapon. It looks and shoots great, and as far as I can tell, it's just what I wanted. I hope to someday soon take some pictures of it with some of my Soviet gear and send the photos to Tantal.com...with Piece of History Firearms naturally getting the credit for the build.

Throughout the process you stayed on budget and on time (I've dealt with another builder in the past that was never on time.) Thank you for good customer service and a great weapon.

Mario at POHF has become my first choice in AK work as well as special gunsmith projects.  His work is top notch and highly recommended!
