They’re way ahead of other AK types and the price-point and margin are the best I’ve seen.” Patterson told SI that his first shipment sold out “almost instantly” and customer response has been fantastic. “I just wish I had an exclusive on them in my area,” he said. “I think it’s a superior product at a bargain price.” www.ioinc.us These are the picks from these dealers.
