Reviews & Ratings for Del-Ton Pre-Ban Government Profile Rifle Kit — 7 reviews — Page 1

I picked this up at the price of $395 during a sale. It is very low quality. Charging handle was bendy, very soft metal. The upper machining looked like an airsoft gun. The handguards were airsoft quality. Not built to “outlast the restrictions of Prohibition.” Not even worth the $395. Returned the kit for a refund.

I wasn’t sure what to expect after reading the earlier reviews. My kit showed up with everything it’s supposed to have and I am impressed by everything about it. The barrel machining looks incredible under the bore scope, the upper receiver is a keyhole which is my favorite to build from and the hand guard comes installed on the triangle end cap. These are just a few of the details that people weren’t mentioning but I noticed. This is a legit steal at the MSRP let alone the Optics planet price. Oh and btw, the lower parts kit looks exactly the same as the CMMG ones I used recently, you can tell by the fine details. The mag release is one area where it shows. I’m telling you, but this upper, there’s no way someone received the same kit I did and could complain. I LOVE this kit

The carrier gas key was loose and not staked. Looks like the staking process was skipped altogether. The extractor had the spring but not the rubber O-ring tensioner. All other parts seem to be low quality but functional. I have not shot the rifle yet so don't know about function or accuracy.

The kit i recieved was in good condition. It wasnt missing any parts. How ever problem i saw was the upper receiver was a blem. Its supposed to be a cardinal forging mark but it is a solid blob. It doesnt affect how it works but its not listed as having defects.

This package was also missing components. The entire safety selector and buffer retaining spring were not in the package. I can understand a simple spring being missing, but the safety selector is a large part. Most manufactures use a system to weigh the components before they are sent out. Besides that, the kit appears to be of good quality. Now that I have to purchase additional parts, the value of the product has been lost. This kit was purchased almost solely due to it's price. Of the dozens of kits we have purchased from various manufacturers, we have yet to have a parts kit missing a major component like this. Ironically even the dirtiest AK parts kit from a former combloc country still had all of it's pieces. I will take in account the massive push for parts in this political climate, along with Covid as a reason for the drop in quality control. That being said, I will not likely purchase another unit from this company.
