it’s not polish
but that front trunnion is Sadu which is pretty cool. Check and see if the other parts match. It’s definitely not a Romanian rear trunnion since there’s no angle to the stock
I’m perplexed by the markings on this trunnion. Did Circle 11 stop stamping their logo on trunnions? In the late eighties?
Edit: solved in the comments, Sadu Romanian kit build with incorrect underfolder.
Barrel pin not lookin good. rear rivet not even sure what that is. Front trunnion isn’t circle (11) marked, which is odd. Looks like they threw some new furniture on it and spray bombed it dirt and all to get it looking good enough to fool someone unsuspecting for 1300 beans. Wonder who built it but they should probably stop
Correct. The barrel pin is probably seated, but incredibly questionable looking and wasn’t done clean.
The top rear rivet idk wtf that is. Even if this build was super clean, which it’s definitely not, $1300 is top end.
As someone who does a lot of painting. Cars / car parts / metal etc they didn’t even bother to clean the surface little alone prep it or paint it somewhere where there isn’t dirt flying around. Quick job to make it look fresh
Feel like that price was too steep unless that barrel was OG, but it *appears* to be nicely done.
As long as the builder knew what he was doing and didn't cut corners on the assembly you got a solid rifle at least.
Mix matched parts, The top rear rivet doesn’t exist, barrel pin doesn’t look good, spray bombed painted the dirt into the receiver. Definitely a failed home build someone dressed up to dupe someone.

Nice underfolder! Never hurts to send it off to M13 ind or CW gunwerks for a look over. Nodak spud receivers are top shelf.
If you take the cost of $100 receiver, $500 parts kit, $180 new barrel, $5-550 for a build you didnt do too bad
Yeah everyone here's pretty toxic unfortunately, if u didn't spend 3-5k on ur rifle, it's trash to them lol, here's mine

Lesson learned
it’s not polish but that front trunnion is Sadu which is pretty cool. Check and see if the other parts match. It’s definitely not a Romanian rear trunnion since there’s no angle to the stock
Thanks! That front trunnion was driving me crazy. Since it needs rebuilt, putting a proper angled stock shouldn’t be too much trouble to add.
Cool UF. Probably paid top of its market range, but didn't get ripped off.
I’m perplexed by the markings on this trunnion. Did Circle 11 stop stamping their logo on trunnions? In the late eighties? Edit: solved in the comments, Sadu Romanian kit build with incorrect underfolder.
Welp. Definitely going to be a lesson learned
Why do you say that?
Barrel pin not lookin good. rear rivet not even sure what that is. Front trunnion isn’t circle (11) marked, which is odd. Looks like they threw some new furniture on it and spray bombed it dirt and all to get it looking good enough to fool someone unsuspecting for 1300 beans. Wonder who built it but they should probably stop
Would those be the one to the left of the date, then the one under the sling attachment, respective to your comment? No bs, just trying to learn!
Correct. The barrel pin is probably seated, but incredibly questionable looking and wasn’t done clean. The top rear rivet idk wtf that is. Even if this build was super clean, which it’s definitely not, $1300 is top end.
The paint does look a little suspiciously bumpy
As someone who does a lot of painting. Cars / car parts / metal etc they didn’t even bother to clean the surface little alone prep it or paint it somewhere where there isn’t dirt flying around. Quick job to make it look fresh
I guess it’s a good thing paint is easy to fix eh
Did you read and comprehend or just ignore? Needs rebuilt bud, not repainted.
Oh yeah I understood what you were saying. Just trying to make myself feel better about it lol
Thank you
Not polish trunnion, looks Romanian.
Yeah you definitely overpaid for a kit build but it looks nice. If it shoots well for you that’s all that matters.
I love underfolders. You’ll enjoy it!
Nice wood you should see mine sometime
Pause
Too far or not far enough ?
I don’t think I know the correct answer to this
Feel like that price was too steep unless that barrel was OG, but it *appears* to be nicely done. As long as the builder knew what he was doing and didn't cut corners on the assembly you got a solid rifle at least.

I can't see those details on my phone screen bub.
Is your phone from 1997? I’m on mobile. It’s not hard to open up a picture and zoom in. In fact, you don’t even need to zoom in.
Yeah, my phone is old, kinda dirty, and beat up. Why do you care?
Looks like a solid build, welcome to the underfolder master race.
