Rebels been rebels
Since I don’t know when

Well the government bugged the men’s room
In the local disco lounge
And all she wants to do is dance, dance
To keep the boys from sellin’
All the weapons they could scrounge
And all she wants to do is dance
But that don’t keep the boys from makin’ a buck or two

Now that's weird. Wonder if it's a factory or if they'e subcontracting.

Here's a couple of hints for you: Phone: 321.499.3819 • Fax: 321.499.3822

And here's another!

I.O.INC, the reborn Inter Ordnance, relocated in summer 2013 to Florida. With the transition to the Space Coast, we have been able to hire top quality engineers and assembly personnel, who worked before for NASA and defense contractors. I.O. has invested heavily in new production and manufacturing equipment, as well as training policies and procedures for both assembly and customer service, in order to provide the highest quality manufacturing and service. Many members of our manufacturing team have also served our country in the armed forces.

I’ll keep my Russian VEPR.

Me too. With quality ammo, almost minute-of-angle at a hundred meters. And at 300, four to six-inch groups are common, depending on me, the wind, and how hot I've gotten the barrel.

I heard that those Romanian AK’s use a stamped receiver. Are those made here machined? The Romanian ones I see at gun shows sure look cheaply made.

Interestingly, most of the Romanian WUM stamped-receiver AKs are actually AK74 receivers with 7,62x39mm barrels, sometimes 5,45mm or the 5,56x45mm round used in the M16/AR15 rifles.

That includes four owned by my fiancée. She's very fond of the Romy AKs.

That’S the REALLY dangerous one!”

Only if it comes in black and has a bayonet lug.
