I.O. INC = TURD
Hello, save your money.
I bought an I.O. INC Patriot AK-47, and its the worst firearm I ever owned,
its also the first one I ever bought without checking out, because it had that
"Made In the U.S.A." tag. The story is they buy junk/garbage/demilled removed from service
military surplus crap that 3rd world nations wouldn't even want, slap a few Tapco parts in
it to sort of hold it all together, and the BATF allows them to say it was "made" in America.
"Brand New" I could not even extract the bolt carrier and gas piston assembly from the reciever
to clean it before firing. I called their Tech Service, and was told to just beat on the underside
of the charging handle with a hammer until it comes out!!! No Kidding!
I shot it twice, and could never get it to fire three rounds in a row, magazines would fall out of it
after poppin off a round, and after 100 rounds my butt stock fell off. I called up and bitched something fierce
they told me to ship it back to them at my expense and they would evaluate it, and fix it if need be...
I took it back to where I bought it, and they threatened to file some complaint against them, and not carry
their products, so finally they agreed to pay shipping. Well its been four weeks or so now, and no word
on its status...
Their products are junk, and a waste of your hard earned money, you will end up with
a very expensive club at best, and a 2x4 with a nail in it will protect you better than a turd
I.O. Inc firearm, I'm just lucky the reciever didn't blow up in my face.
Spend the extra $$$ and get a good rifle, I got an Arsenal Arms SGL21 and love it.
