as far as ms kits go I have yet to see a good one or a good company.,

The only replica company I have ever heard good things about was shine auto project (where I got my front and sides from). Other than that the quality of replica is pure crap

Don't learn the hard way!!!!!!!

Anything that's a replica is going to fit like **** and need to be modified. Not worth the BS that your currently going through with your M1 mistake

Remember---- You have to PAY to play...........................................

hmm that looks like KBD right?
some members on here say its an ok, fit you just need to adjust some of the bolts or tabs to make it fit right.

on the other hand, members who have had the VIS magnum [MS rep] have said it fit pretty well.
