    i would love to see more rifles like the ones that came with the 2007 import stamp. as far as building custom rifles goes..... when it comes to chinese receivers... they are some of the nicest to build on

    Would be great to see "project" kits like these made available again. ..even without the 50% discount vs. assembled. haha.

    KIT GUNS;

    The reason Marstar does not offer kit guns of any type is simple....

    With our warranty policy we be inviting problems

    I also was fortunate enough to get my mitts on several unmarked chinese receivers as well as 2 other allan lever early imports with serial numbers under 00100 :D
    very cool thread
    As requested...the finish almost looks to me like black oxide. Cool receiver.

    I've also got a few unmarked ones... I like em better than the chinese shop class electropencil markings

    Just curious what other vendors were selling them for before you got in the game?

    I just picked up a used M-14 Norinco marked Bell Lifestyle.CA . It came in a baby poop brown stock that is kind of peeling and greenish underneath. I have never heard of this name or seen this kind of stock. Anyone know what I have ? I hope this is close to being on the topic of this thread.

    Bell lifestyles is a HUGE company that deals in importing and wholesaling sporting goods. dealt with them extensively in the sports fishing industry.
    the Bell Lifestyles m14/m305 rifles are the same, some are also marked polytech instead of norinco..... again, same rifle, just a different "marketting company" in china and imported/wholesaled by Bell lifestyles here in canada.
