This is the only CAI Yugo that I have ever seen that did not come with the G2 group. However, just to double-check, look at the trigger, it will have "G2" on the side.
Re: Centurion 39 Sporter Rifle (100% American Made) I am no longer employed at CAI, they felt I didnt want to be there and fired me. This is not an uncommon for anyone smarter than the average thumb tack. Another example of that is 60% of middle management has left the company. Half of Cais problem, they farm out way too much.
