I plan on trading my AR for an AK listed as being made with a Maadi parts kit and Century receiver. How reliable are the Maadi kits? Are they decent quality? I've heard good things but I'm new to the AK platform.

Who built it? Any markings on the reciever?

Not certain. I know they guy is older, and might not have a camera phone. His listing description reads "My ak has a century receiver with an Egyptian maadi parts kit in it"
Maybe a home build?

Possibly or a century misr90, which is bad.
Maadi's have very poor finish and machine work.
The misr's are a clusterfuck of actual chinese ak47 parts built onto a stamped reciever.

OP, I would be careful buying anything Century has built themselves. If you do jump on then make sure you check for canted sights/gas block, etc.

initial parts are good but this all comes down to who rebuilt it. if you cant find that info out pass.
