Polish KBK
Custom Build
Polish Radom Circle 11 KBK Specification ·
This build represents what Diamondback Tactical does at its best — a period-correct Polish Circle 11 KBK built from sourced surplus components and correctly-specified modern parts. Every element was cross-referenced against primary sources. The bakelite grip and wood furniture set is original Polish surplus. The receiver finish matches the post-1962 blued specification exactly. Nothing approximated. Nothing close enough. Built 922r compliant with ALG trigger US made slant break, Childers receiver and US barrel.

How It Works
From Specification to Completed Build
Every build follows the same rigorous process — research before parts, parts before build, build before delivery.
Consultation & Spec
Share your vision — pattern, era, specific components, budget. Eugene reviews every request personally and provides a detailed quote within 1–2 business days. No automated replies. No call centers.
Research & Sourcing
Before any part is ordered, the pattern is researched against primary sources. Components are sourced from verified suppliers. No substitutions without your knowledge and approval.
Build & Inspection
Every part is fitted and assembled to specification. The completed rifle is fully inspected, function-checked, and test-fired. It doesn't leave the shop until it passes every check.
Delivery & Documentation
Transferred through a licensed FFL dealer in your state with complete build documentation: components list, origins, specifications matched, and a function-check report. Your build has a record.
