Current state of the AK

It is being posted on Instagram and other places that Kalashnikov USA is filing for bankruptcy. I guess I'm not terribly surprised.

I think the fact they weren’t at SHOT was pretty telling. Poor Bonnie Rotten is going to have to go back to porn.

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’ll just leave this here… Headstamp Publishing is excited to announce the seventh in our flagship series of books, Rifles on the Danube: Hungarian AK-Pattern Firearms, 1959–2002, authored by László Becz.

I didn’t realize those were out in the wild yet. Ain’t going to lie - that’s a sexy rifle!

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).
