A thread for the gun enthusiasts
So after getting some good advice from Evil Twin, I decided to buy this bad boy today. :myak:
I picked up 250 rounds for it as well. A scope will be next.


Here's a link to the manufacturer. Turns out they are only an hour or so from my home. [link to ioinc.us]

Here's a link to the specs of this particular rifle. [link to www.ioinc.us]

Happy hunting!

Looks like a 1980's Romanian "civil guard" ak-47 kit import, build on a US made receiver and prettied up with cheap TAPCO plastic. Have one I built myself, similar plastic and so on.

Good rifle to buy, as the prices of kit based AK rifles are climbing fast (you can no longer import kits with barrels). Personally, I like the Romanians.

Have fun!

Congrats on your new AK! For an AK, you might consider going with some kind of red dot site rather than a scope...

Oh, you're gonna need a lot more than 250 rounds....That wouldn't last long when the zombies are hungry for humabeef..

Thanks. I've been wanting one of these for a long time. It's my understanding that I could have bought this rifle much cheaper a year or so ago. Wish I would have jumped on one before they got so expensive.

Re: A thread for the gun enthusiasts
I have bought several things from IO in the last 3 or 4 years, but I can't remember what they were???? Shit fire, I must have brain damage.
Brain damage and guns go together well, since I also don't remember what happened to the guns I bought.
Very convenient!

It's kinda like changing diapers, once you do it your screwed.
It's sad everything has doubled for those just now starting to buy. They may double again or worse though. Maybe a friend has an AR or AK you can buy cheaper than what's available out there.

You can forget finding an AR for cheap. I didn't see one at the show for less than $1500.

Thanks ET. This one is riveted not screwed. To be honest, everyone I looked at was riveted.

It's sturdy though, and the mags fit nice and snug.

I can't wait to shoot it!!

I don't think I've ever seen one with a screwed receiver for under $900 or so.

Here's my cheapo Romanian riveted build. It goes bang every single time and shoots "minute of beercan" offhand at 50 yds.
Good enough for me ;)
