If its not msde in china its likely a decent kit. Id give it a try. It sounds like they are proud of it and would stand behind it should you be unhappy with it. One thing i noticed whas the ring keeper on the intake port was off center. I dont think the oem is that way if i remember correctly
 
Reviving and old thread and hijacking it. I purchased one of their piston and cylinder kits for a 064. Kim quick, opened it up, great quality, really good machining, I did a little bit of deburring with a Dremel and did a gasket delete and ended up with .019 squish. Saw fired up in three pulls and ran great. The issue I had was that I had low compression to begin withand ended up with the same compression after the top end rebuild so my problem was somewhere else in the saw.
I ended up contacting them and the owner of the company called me back and was willing to stand behind his product. Gus offered to send me a complete new kit and give me my money back if it was the piston and cylinder that was the problem (which it wasn’t).
All that being said, I also purchase a good number of parts from Sawzilla, who sells all proline and I have yet to receive a bad part. Coils, lines, filters and such all seem to work out pretty good
