MJR73,

I have been thinking about getting one too to supplement my Poly Tech AK as a more of a plinking rifle. The one I've seen is located at Big 5 sporting goods but the price of 599$ is a bit much. If they offer it at the price of 499 then I would snatch it up quickly. Regardless of where you see one I believe hey might work out well if you take your time and not jump the gun if it jams a little. Besides that if the gun shop offers to send it back for you then still it's a good bargain. Reliability wise, to my best researching the issue it seems to be only a 50/50% rifle as some people have had horrible results and others are happy with their's. That's why if the shop will send it back for you then at least you have a source to back you up.

To all interested in an IO AK....dont do it....buy a WASR...you will be happier in the long run..

I had a issue with one a i got from them a few months back...needless to say the replacement i got was satisfactory..but left some to be desired....

Its a US made reciever with mix n match Romanian parts...used or not...its a roll of the dice.

WTex,

Your neighborhood is much cheaper than mine. California guys must pay more.

I really strongly disagree with the "buy it and if you have problems just send it in to get fixed" mentality.

If a company is known to be putting out a large amount of junk, no one should be supporting them with business until they get their shit together.
