Its sad this stuff isnt made in the US. Id bet if it was sales would be huge. With the Fed laws on post ban AKs its damn hard to use these parts without fearing the feds.

That is great news.
I know that selling your AK items is a challange and I get emails all the time asking where it is made. Sales will jump once its made in the US. Its to bad this was'nt done years ago when TDI / CAA was one of just a couple companies making AK items. Now CAA has alot more competition and you will have to get the word out that the items are made in the USA.. |

Sorry for the delay. We are getting ready to move our company so things have been hectic. @ 6Paul11 - yes you can buy the tube individually. At the current time the tube with the sling attachment points, is only available for stamped receivers. AKTS Tube $99.99 |

It does not interfere with any of our rail systems. You can see the tube attached in the last image. Im not sure about interference with other side rail mounts, but from what I have seen online it doesnt look like there should be a problem. |

The tubes are commercial diameter. The milled units use an upper tang. As far as the stocks that fit the tube, any commercial stock will fit. Our CBS Stock is a nice fit as well as our ARS without leg. |

But this makes it a pain to use a drum....legally. I can't wait for the move to be complete. I use the UTG pistol grips on my AK and AR, if production starts soon then I won't have to track down a hard to find U.S. part, for a PSL conversion, to stay compliant with the caa PG. |

Just bought the CAA tube for my Norinco AK.. It seems as if it is too wide and will not fit into the receiver (thicker metal on the Norinco receiver?) but the odd thing is that even if it went in all the way, the tang holes will not line up and it appears the tang is too long.. Was this engineered for only the romanian/yugo/etc. receivers without it being spec. for the Norinco brand?

all Aks are VERY different. There really is no spec. I filled my stock adapter till it fit perfectly. One hole matched and I redrilled the other. It take a bit of work then its great.

Your tri-rail handguard needs metal reinforcement at the forward end, and a heat shield.

Recently have got a rail. CAA
No doubt, it very beautiful. It has many problems! - The price; - While extracting the fired case hits the rail; - It is impossible to disassemble the weapon for cleaning not removing a rail; - From frequent use the carving on a rail wears out; - Problem with a butstock at Saiga MK-03; MK;. - A pile of problems for quite high price

I have several CAA products for my AK: Tri-Rail lower, the UPG47 pistol grip, and the CBS6 collapsible stock. All of them are top-notch products and work really well.
CAA's customer service is alos great. I sent an e-mail last week that I had lost the plug that caps off the "buffer tube" on my CBS stock, and I needed to buy another one. The next day I got a phone call form CAA. All they asked for was my address and they mailed a new one to me. While my AK is 922r compliant as it is, if CAA starts producing these products in the USA, I will probably replace all my existing CAA accessories with US-made CAA parts, just to be double safe. Great products, great company!!! |

Great products, great company!!! Customer service is nice but the warehouse and some of CAA's policies kinda suck. I initially ordered a UPG47 grip and lower handgard rail and received them like 6 weeks ago. The grip came with the plastic but no hardware. I called CAA customer service the next day and was told the hardware would be mailed from warehouse Feb 17th, never came. I called again 2 weeks later and another request was put in to warehouse, never came. I order a foreward grip and received it no problem. I email CAA with a buttstock question, no response. I call customer service a third time and just went ahead and phone ordered a AK CBS tube and stock and asked the CSR to please include the grip hardware in the UPS box. The next day CAA bills my card but I don't get an email tracking number So I call again to inquire why I havent got the tracking number. The CSR tells me that my order has not shipped yet pending final approval on my card. I am really dissapointed for 2 reasons , the first is this is my THIRD no funds problem order with them, and the second is in the decades that I been placing card orders as soon as the card is approved, its processed, not this final approval garbage, days later. The best part is I notice on the website that there is free shipping on orders over $50, so I asked the CAA CSR about this and she nicley tells me that discount is for internet orders only. I would have happely placed an internet order but since they kept not sending the hardware for my plastic paperweight I had no choice but to call them for phone order, so go figure.

You should search the EE and order from CAA dealers like me or the other dealer that carry CAA items. In most cases I will help fix issues with products and if I cant I will push on CAA to help you out. Also when you buy on AR15.com you support AR15.com, the smaller dealers, you will get a lower price and you will get you items MUCH faster.
I always sell at the lowest price I am allowed to and even lower on clearance items and I always ship the same day payment is received or immediatly the next day. Derek |

I guess you are supporting since they have a banner now. Just know its always cheaper through one of the smaller venders. I will match any shipped price that is lower than mine. My shipped prices are low enough that I have never had to match a price,. Also I carry all the colors and OD is normaly a color I have ALOT of since its normaly a low seller.
If you cant get them to fix issues shoot me an email and ill get you in contact with someone that should take care of things. Derek |

I have the hand guards from the first kit on my AK right now. It is a nice piece, but I did have a little trouble getting it to fit my Romainian WASR10 correctly. It needed some filing to get the upper guard to sit straight. I have used CAA for years on my service M4 and love the products; they have been with me through two deployments to Iraq.
Has hanyone used the CBS on their AK yet? I've had one on my M4 for two and a half years now or thereabouts and love it. Wondering if it works as well on the AK. Does the ACP help with optics since some tend to sit higher on the AK than on the AR? |

Sure does make the AK look as mean as its reputation. It's just too pricey for my blood, even as a gadget hound. How do you like that rail? Did it fit well or need some adjustment? Also, what's your opinion on the ACP, does it help on the AK?
I will say that CAA's support for deployed soldiers has been very good. I have always received my orders in a timely manner, which is more than I can say for some companies. CAA has never had an issue mailing to an APO address. This more than anything has kept me coming back, and I have kitted out two sevice M4s as well as my personal AK with CAA items over the last three years. Quality is also excellent. I have had my CBS through two Iraq tours and it has survived more than I would have ever expected. |

The rail went on easier than the standard AK handguards. So far I love it. I just need to decide on and drop the money on a optic. I like the ACP on it but it will come in more handy once I have a optic on it.
I am a CAA dealer and I give discounts to military past and present. I also match any lower shipped price, my prices are low enough that I havent had to yet. ALso if you have pics of your CAA gear in the sandbox I would love to have some. I try to get the real facts out there when the CAA bashers hijack threads saying that CAA = fail and crap like that.

This is my current service M4. I have used the CBS for two tours in Iraq on many, many patrols. I took off the doors to the battery compartment as I don't use it for storage. I do have and ACP for this, but the optic sits about right without it. The CBS has poven to be tough and reliable and has been beat around in and out of vehicles, on raids, and through palm groves. rain, sand, and heat. The pistol grip is CAA's modular grip that has front and rear attachements to size it to your hands. I had a CAA pistol grip before, forogt which one, and it was just too large for my hands to comfortably get to the safety quickly. This grip is great- very comfotable and much better shaped to me individually. Also, it works well with gloves because you can make it slimmer. The grip has a small storage compartment but I don't like to keep tp many things on my weapon. The foregrip was bought from Mako, but correct me if I am wrong, doesn't CAA produce something similar? I also have the PRS stock for use on a home-build SPR AR when I get back. It is a good stock as well, but not as conducive for shooting on the move. I use one of the light mounts on my Surefire G2, not currently attached to the M4. All in all I am very satisfied with CAA's quality. I have only seen one piece from this company break, under extreme usage, and most of my pieces have lasted several years in combat zones. When I get around to building an AR back home, these will be added over to that. http://img301.imageshack.us/img301/2839/ak47q.jpg This is the current version of my little WASR10 blaster. The buttstock is Tapco, and I really don't like it. It's too long for my liking, wiggles a lot, and just doesn't it the look I like. The handguards are CAA and took some fitting to get them to sit right. One of the plastic pieces that space the upper from lower portions broke during installation so it's no longer steady enough to mount an optic (The leupold is my own optic for my M4 usually). |

the only catch, everything is on back order and though it's nice stuff, you can just buy another gun instead of the conversion. What's up? you finally figured out how to scope an AK but your already dead because it was on back order. LOL

What is the difference between Fab Defense and CAA aside the name? Just noticed that Fab Defense's VFK AK47 rail system doesn't expose as much metal on the on the charging handle side. In fact after catching a picture on their Fab Defense CZ website the newest model has all of the support on the left side. Probably to correct the issue of a shell hitting the rail.

Im a CAA dealer and have tons of their items in stock. Just shoot me an email. Below is a link to all the items I have listed on AR15.com http://ee.ar15.com/UserInfo.aspx?uid=30268 As for FAB Defense, same country of origin, total different company. If you are intrested in the new FAB items email me, I have many in stock. As for the pics of the FAB AK rail, there are not correct. I just received a rail from FAB and it does not look like any of the pics. |

I kinda agree, however the rail and stock I put on my Ak have moved it to a new level.
Think about a AR. Ar 900+ Rail system 300+ Aimpoint 300 + Mount 75 + Stock 100 + Grip 30+ Forward grip 20+ Light mount 20+ Light 50+ Rear sight 75+ Front Site 75+ sling 30+ sling mount 20+ 3x magnifyer 300+ laser 100+ Laser mount 20+ Of course this list can go on and on. An AK is just a cheaper start.
Before anyone say hey that isnt a preban, it is. Its marked and verified as a preban. A month or two later and it would have been restamped.
