Lol, 100%. Glad we have these communist blasters here in the first place.
Any "quality control" issue's just add to the excitement lol.
My original folder is "bent" I don't care shoots awesome and puts a smile on my face regardless

Same its part of the appeal of eastern cold war guns, can you imagine an AR bent this much and still reliable and accurate? Lol.
Sure, but this is more about burning Tactical Imports for their inconsistent, dodgy and now highly hypocritical service. If they would learn to be more honest from the start, they wouldnt be so hated on today.

This.
Part of the charm of Com Bloc rifles is how they got by with such minimal and crude construction. I see these as a prime example of a completely alternate the philosophy of design and engineering.
The imperfections and inconsistencies are what makes these a historically accurate representation of design techniques and manufacturing practices of firearms from this region of the world.

No because I am not looking to trade my cherry examples, but I can say that a bend wouldn't deter me from buying. If you have a beach wood folder with a bend you would like to sell and you aren't looking for a premium over new, let me know.

I should also add that I completely understand not all people are like this, but they should also understand that this is a com block rifle and to govern their standards accordingly. If you think it's below your standards then don't buy it.
I myself am something of an "Ed Bolian" of the gun world, meaning I don't mind harsh examples as long as the price is right, and these are some of the most affordable feature rich NR rifles Canada has seen in the last 2 decades.

A 4mm deviation is around 2.8 feet @ 100m... thats a misalignment of around .488 degrees. Doesnt sound like much... but its pretty impressive what the human eye can perceive. Case being Tactical Imports puts a .5 degree downward cant in their 1913 mount and look how obvious that was to all the buyers. Most optics are perfectly capable of compensating for .488 degrees. Heck i swear my Vortex Strikeeagle had to compensate for 1.5 degrees when i mounted it to my Benelli MR1 lol and it did.
Despite the 4mm misalignment being trivial in a practical sense. And the fact that it could very well be a testament to the ways of their manufacture. I still get why many here would have the mindset that if there going to pay top dollar for a cheap mass produced gun, they should at least get top pick of the litter. No different then collector wanting to hand pick SVT 40s and SKS rifles.

but you dont get it. the dealer said the bent is not the standard. if the bent is the standard i certainly would not buy it.
ahhh, now you are talking. i would buy one with the "harsh" bent if "the price is right" . if i paid what the third world countries are paying i certainly would.

This sure is a strange narrative over what must be remembered is a mass produced, affordable (cheap relative to other examples) ultimately utilitarian rifle. This isn’t like a collectable milsurp that seized production 80 years prior.
This is a $1200 toy. Enjoy it.

U can use a right angle calc and plug in .488 degrees and 328ft.... or u could solve it by using the fact that it deviates 4mm per 470mm ( 18.5" barrel) divided out across 100,000mm (100m)... both versions give u 2.79 or 2.8.... and like really ? 3.2 vs 2.8... who cares.
are you kidding me? i care, the difference is over nearly 6" off at 100m.
i did a reverse calculation and figured you used 18.5" which is wrong. according to TI measuring method , the chamber is excluded cos we cant measure the chamber part. around 40cm length is what most of us uses.
