Anyone have any experience with one of these from IO Inc? I am looking for another AK variant/style rifle in 7.62, and this seems cool. I see that Atlantic sells them. Thanks |

It's pretty much a Romanian I'd say its about 50/50 on if you get a good one or not, the quality control is not very high with these builds. The biggest problems are canted/off-center gas tubes and poorly-machined magazine wells. Here is my outlook. If you pay $279.00 for an AK, you are getting $279.00 worth of AK - if you get my drift. I'd feel more comfortable going with a Lancaster or Sierra myself. Even a cheaper Yugo build would be a better bet. It's more money, but the quality control is much better for the most part. |

I "HAD" one - it shot well (all AK's shoot - some more accurate than others about theonly good thing I could say about the STG-2000 is it was pretty accurate) but was a POS compared to the fit and finish of other AK's - I got rid of it ASAP and went and bought a Global Trades / Armory USA AK - unbelievable difference in the fit and finish. . When I read all the good reviews, press and comments about how good these are I just laugh. |

Mine was decent in fit and finish, but would not run Norinco ammo. I'd rather have a WASR...and do! Proprietary hand guards limit your options. Short sight radius made iron sights use difficult. Scope rail was in-spec and worked fine with russian optics and mounts. Cheap plastic stock sounded hollow (like some Ar's) and was not that comfy. I loved the pistol grip. |
