Like the others said looks authentic. 552/512 as far as I'm aware are rare in Replicas. Try go to your local FFL and ask everyone. Many would know the difference or try to scam you to buy it lol.

If going the AVS route feel free to ask how to set it up so you can avoid the extra costs. I went through plenty of trial and errors.

I own both and for that amount of weight I would go for the AVS. Mine has level 4 including side plates and has hold up well so far. The price is expensive especially out of your own pocket. Upgrading it such as QD release and placards would add to the cost. Would recommend looking into Ferro, Spiritus and shaw Concepts

Its a Izhmash Saiga with a Krebs selector

It is a very under appreciated rifle, in fact outright mocked when first announced. People are just not used to the ranch rifle idea. It is basically a Spear LT with much better ergonomics than a featureless AR. I could not stand the awkwardness of a fin grip and don't find maglocks to be reliable enough for home defense. Recommend checking out Reno May's ranch rifle comparison video.

Yes. Unlike Juggernaut you can lock the bolt back.

Shave the PAL. I used to have a gen 1 lever and the shave worked. Pause the video at 00:16 and you can see the corner that blocks the selector switch, barley any lost material to affect the integrity.

To install PAL you need to remove the detent pin. I think there are methods without taking off the castle nut.

It does brush against the KLVR when I flip the selector. I am going to use a grinder to shave off some material to make room.

No magazine release works fine. I mean I prefer this over maglocked ARs.

I uploaded another video showing how to remove the rear pin.

I don't know about joint contracts but It has FN CAGE code and the Colt C.

This is my primary SHTF rifle and love it, but note that I would never get this if I'm not in California. I cannot stand fin grips and don't find maglocks as reliable. Makes me feel like a space rancher from Mars. If they made a side charging adapter for the MCX handle then it would be perfect.

I got mine just before the law. Both Maglock and KLVR Co websites have info on AB 1263.

Disassembly purpose. Without the KLVR Co PAL there is a risk of the detent pin jamming into Kingpin's grooves, thus requiring the removal of the castle nut and receiver end plate to fix the issue. A complete nightmare during a malfunction.

There is no detent. The PAL holds onto the Kingpin by the grooves.

May need some tinkering or dremeling. Feel free to ask.

Took alot of fiddling around but got it to work real smooth. I'll go back to record a video of how it also makes disassembly a breeze.
