The other day I took a ride down to Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters. They had 3 new rifles on the rack. The guy behind the counter said they just got them in and were among the best AKs you could get in New Jersey. It felt nice and solid. A big plus is that it takes standard AK mags.

 

Price tag was 399.

Well, from what I hear they go bang every time.

 

2 maybe issues:

 

Furniture is FUUUGLY

It's all american (which shouldnt be the case for AKs but meh)

 

I wouldnt call it the best AK you can get in jersey though...you can get any AK you want if you mod it properly. A red jacket build would be the best of the best...

me like!!!! Glenn and I, we like AKs very much, but we disagree on furniture. He likes that original wood Soviet conscript soldier look, I wanna "paint it black"

Jeremy, 400 smakers? which model was it? I've actaully seen the IO site before and liked these very much. they got the NJ legal mags for them?

Looks good, I prefer non-standard furniture on AKs anyway. I own both rifles with Saiga handguard and AK handguards. The AK handguards I consider a drawback and prefer full length ones as I like to hold the rifle all the way out by the gas block with them for much better stability.

 

My only complaint with that STG rifle would be the decreased sigh radius, but other than that it looks fine and it's really not much of a reduction anyway. It's an AK and won't fail you, so for $400 you really can't go wrong.

For $400 I may bite.

 

They do have a wood furniture one.

Hmm, maybe I'll swing by Cheyenne later for a peek.

Sounds like they ship w/10 rounders "AK47-C and STG2000-C rifles sent to MD, NY and NJ can only have 10-round magazines"

 

BTW im doing that group buy right now for 15 round mags. I know you wont be getting the rifle super soon but this is a good opportunity.

thanks. I thought about it, but what's the point of having mags lying around and no rifle. I'll just wait & cross that bridge what I come to it.

In about another week or so the bridge will be gooooooneeee

 

BTW apparently these are pretty accurate. Oh yeah and they use tapco triggers (good)

yummy... adds to list.. haha

They actually look pretty good. But, that's just the pictures. Who's buying the first one?

so where can i find these rifles in NJ?

Cheyenne Mountain Outfitters in Robbinsville has 3 of them in stock.

i found this article on their site >>>>> I.O. Inc Rifles

so what do you think? Romaks or Not Romaks?

They are not Romaks, they are made on US receivers. Romaks are made by Cugir in Romania and then imported by Century.

FINE! if you guys insist on me getting this rifle, i find no other choice but to comply. i will tell my wife that you forced me to buy it.

~ twisting your arm~ BUY IT!!!! and tell us about it... and post pics and a range report - we're a demanding bunch

does anybody know of any other shops that have I.O. Inc Rifles in stock? pls share

PICS!!! (please) what do you think of it? $399 + tax & NICS?

 

i wish it was that cheap, but no. total ended up being around $550, which is $100 more than i wanted to pay. wtvr its done, i got it. the quality is decent, wouldnt know for sure till i take her out for a date. as u will see in the pix some spots have machine marks, but i dont really care. had to fix the dust cover a lil as it wudnt go in the place after i took it off. there was some rust on the inside, but it was easy to take off. over the phone they told me they have several color options, but, of course, when i got there there was only this earth color ones. again dont care that much as i will change the stock to wooden in the future anyways. besides i think it looks less "evil" and different this way. comes with the sling and cleaning kit. the mag it comes with is sucky to say the least. overall im very happy that i finally got myself an AK style rifle. and yes i know i cudve done saiga conversation for less, which im planing to do in the future anyways. however i just dont have the space, time or tools to do it atm. as soon as i go to CR, will let u know if she is a good dancer.

 

PS i like the way the pins are done which u see in the pix.
