Title: Check this out....
Post by: Power Surge on December 15, 2015, 09:20:06 PM
It's Navy Arms Cowboy's Companion....but check out the base gun.... 216 arsenal, serial is just 00005, and rear sight leaf has a "K"...

Thoughts??

The receiver looks scrubbed and renumbered... Guess 216 was the location to used the receiver. 

The barrel is indeed not indexed correctly... Makes me wonder where the extractor notch is located. 

The lug..  Isn't there a commercial gun known to have a lug like this?

The rear sight leaf looks like an AK leaf with no notches on one side...

The arsenal stamp itself is odd... The 1 normally goes all the way to the top and bottom. This one falls short.

I've had this photo of an odd /216\ forever, very similar to the gun in the OP as it also sports a wicked light NA stamp:

That barrel indexing is bizarro, looks a full 90° off to me.  I wonder how the hell they get the crossbolt to seat when the stock is on?!?

Bayo lug is std NA modification for a CC LC.  In addition to the notches on one side, Sal pointed out the "K" battle sight setting on that RSL!  Can't say I've ever seen one of those before...  Any of you AK gurus recognize that one? :o

That K sight leaf is different. No serration on the left side of the leaf, either. Haven't seen that one before.

Way overpriced, IMO. I would like to see the bottom of the receiver/barrel area out of the stock, just to see how they did it.
