I think the fact they weren’t at SHOT was pretty telling. Poor Bonnie Rotten is going to have to go back to porn.Originally Posted by Tokarev
Honestly - it should have been a no brainer for them to succeed, but I imagine I’m not the only one out there who was never quite able to pull the trigger on one despite their pedigree.
Wonder how it will affect the value of their guns?
The company seems to have been floundering for awhile. Before and after Bonnie Rotten as a spokesperson. The decision to use her as a social media rep just speaks to the company management's lack of judgment. I'm not saying she shouldn't have been employed by the company but I don't think it was smart to use her as the face of the company. Put her in the office doing paperwork or on the phone answering customer service calls.
Hopefully this will all lead to something positive. New management after bankruptcy or another company buying them out and making a decent go of it. In any event, getting the KR101 to market needs to be the top priority.
I assume the guns will go up a bit in value if they drop completely from the market. If someone takes them over? Then maybe the old guns won't be worth as much if the new guns are of good quality.

Well this stinks. My KUSA 104 is one of my funnest guns!

I didn’t realize those were out in the wild yet. Ain’t going to lie - that’s a sexy rifle!Well this stinks. My KUSA 104 is one of my funnest guns!
I watched Mishaco’s video concerning the situation at KUSA. Bankruptcy doesn’t necessarily mean out of business and there is a chance that someone may buy them.
I’d really like to see true Russian TDP rifles produced stateside for years to come (even though it seems that every state out there is trying to ban them).
It may be already mentioned in this thread, but the 7.62x39 AK might be the best cold weather brown bear gun around.
I really like my KUSA 103. It shoots really nice and is pretty accurate by AK standards.
I hope someone comes along and rights this ship!
I’ve found myself almost exclusively shooting my 5.56 Polish FB Radom Beryl AKs over my 7.62x39 and 5.45 options. It’s gotten to the point where I feel bad shooting my Russian Barnaul ammo in 7.62x39.
On the upside I’m extremely pleased with my Beryls and it has become my go to AK. Quality is on par with or better than my Russian and Bulgarian AK imports.
I agree! The Beryls are extremely nice guns and my 556 has become my "primary AK" with my M70 serving as my primary 762x39 gun. I'm sitting on a couple cases of Barnaul and I too am very hesitant to shoot it - I'm working though my last case of Tula/Wolf and now that the threat of an AWB in Colorado has subsided (for now) and can redirect my gun money to ammo, I'll probably pick up a case of the Palmeto/ACC 762x39 to give it a try.
I recently put an RS Regulate handguard on my 556 Beryl and I like it pretty well. I still kind of want the "clone look" but there is no doubt it improves the functionality. In my opinion the Beryls are the best AK on the market in terms of quality. The blow Arsenal out of the water in terms of fit and finish and come in $600+ cheaper. The only downside to them is that some of the parts of proprietary and there are some issues getting accessories to fit, but they are extremely well made rifles.
