Looking for opinions on quality. Tradex, Corwin, and Westrifle all sell them. Are they all the same? Are the more expensive ones better quality? Please share pro's and cons of any you have tried.
Thanks Jason
 
Most common group is Chinese / Taiwanese repros with specs slightly changing from batch to batch however ALL of the are out of specs with cross pin position. Don't believe BS sellers feed about proper specs and other countries of production. Most of them are acceptable for repro built but you either have to protect the notch or come up with custom cross pin. Adjustment with hammer might be required. So buy the cheapest one.
Another group is accurate replicas - Ukrainian Izyum made and Finnish FinnBear. Those two replicas are very close to original specs and finish and often used to fake original mounts, especially FinnBear. However they are also really hard to find. And if you find one chance it will go for top dollar at the auction as some sellers will confuse them with authentic ones.
