I got rid of my 47 and 74 years ago (pains me to admit those were mistakes) and the only com-block caliber I have left in my flock is the Robinson XCR 5.45 conversion kit (got rid of the 7.62 kit as well due to crappy AR 7.62 mags at the time). Anyway, thinking about another 47 and wanted to see if anyone had experience with the AKG-47.
This is Brandon Herrera’s AK build and he is “The AK Guy” (lots of YouTube vids). I think he is based out of Fayetteville and I don’t mind supporting Carolina “locals” if their products are good (PTR, PSA, FN, Rugged, etc). He is also working on an AK-50...holy crap!
Any experience or thoughts on the AKG?

Info from the website:
The AKG-47 is an American built 7.62x39 AKM that is purpose built to be the affordable, yet reliable AK that you've been looking for.
The AKG-47 starts life as a new production, virgin Romanian military grade parts kit. It's built on a standard 1mm stamped steel receiver using Russian spec rivets, and fitted with a cold hammer forged Romanian barrel. Once completed, the rifles are Cerakoted by "We Plead the 2nd." Rifles are then inspected for quality control purposes, and come zeroed at 200 yards.
All AKG-47's are hand built, and every one is personally inspected/test fired by me (Brandon Herrera, the owner) to ensure you get a rifle worthy of the "AK Guy" name.
Quick Specs:
Romanian Military Parts Kit
Cold Hammer Forged Barrel
7.62x39mm
Cerakoted "Graphite Black"
Side-Rail Included
Polished G2 Trigger
Tango Down Battle Grip
XTech 30 Round Magazine (1)
Lifetime Warranty
