Quoted:
Sad thing is... the people that own TAPCO are really nice people. Good family business. 10yrs ago when they sold parts kits and demil stuff they were a go-to source. Since they stopped selling direct and tried to take over the cheap plastic shit market from CAA I havent really done any business with them.
Everybody's really a lot harder on them than they should be. While some of their stuff seems poorly conceived, some of it is really nice. The Tapco G2 trigger setup in the WASR 10/63 rifle I have. It's pretty smooth and light. I have an SKS in the stock they have, and yeah, it is a bit cheap, but it's pretty robust. The rail on the upper handguard is a joke, but overall it's not a bad design. The detachable 20 round magazine works great.
But of course it is in human nature to mock something just because others are mocking it as well.
