Made in America (Texas?) AK-47

Mad Man · December 27, 2001, 10:47 AM

While browsing through one of the gun ragazines in the supermarket a few days ago, I came across an article about a made in America AK-47 type rifle (in Texas, if I remember correctly).

These are supposedly 100% manufactured here, and not imports with American parts added on.

Does anyone know anything about these rifles:

manufacturer?

cost?

reviews?

Thanks.

I believe the recievers are made by Arsenal USA (Global Trades) and the rest of the gun is made by K-VAR. I have heard nothing but good things about them. I almost bought one myself when they first came out. I local dealer had several in stock for $599. I was playing around with one and was pretty impressed with it. By the time I did a little research and went back to pick it up, they were all gone and I had to settle for a SAR1. Oh well.....at least i saved some money.

Good Luck.
