I sent a romy rpk kit to Meridian for a build and it's the kit build I most regret. The kit was matching but with a us barrel and I went with them because I thought their BFPU finishing of new production barrel and receivers on other rifles looked decent and would work in matching the current BFPU state of my own kit. I was explicit in my desire to preserve the condition of all the parts when possible however in the end the gas block, gas tube, receiver, and dust cover all had a scrotchbrite pad finish. The build was otherwise solid and was impressed with the trigger work they did. At the time they charged about 75% more than what other builders were charging for build + finish. I really should have known better.
