Just a heads up for anyone considering buying a Riley gun. This was a new gun I purchased about a week ago. I've run about 300 (frustrating) rounds through it at this point. The overall build quality is good it seems, but it's got issues with an extractor.
I know I should've waited for an M70 or a WASR (working on fixing that now lol) but I couldn't resist the lure of an in-stock off the rack AK, especially since the Gen3 guns had generally favorable reviews online.
I've already contacted Riley for help, and they said they got a bad batch of extractor claws awhile back, That would explain my issue for sure. They've shipped me a replacement that should be here later this week. I'll swap it out and report back.
In the meantime, laugh at my pain:
