Originally an importer of Russian-made firearms, the company began manufacturing its own guns— based on the Russian specifications— after the US government banned their importation. Today, the company produces a wide variety of semi-auto AK pattern rifles, shotguns and pistols for the US civilian marketplace. All of them are manufactured in America, by American workers, using high quality US-made barrels, receivers, trunnions, bolts and other components. Every gun is test-fired and receives a final quality control inspection before being shipped.
