I am considering doing business with Chris from AKUSA and was wondering if I could get some feedback about this company from you guys. I have talked with him once through email and he seems to be the man to do businness with.

Everyone over on the DARK SIDE (ak-47.net) seem to like him. Check out the Russian forum for old posts about it.

I've spoken to him twice about the .223 AK-101, while he was actually testing it. I decided against it, on the basis that it doesn't use original .223 mags (Bulgie waffles or Weigers).

Then, I was going to get a AK-103 from him........but these evil people here on AR15.com made me hold onto my wallet until the LEGP AK variant comes out.

Gary at SAI looks like he'll have a .223 version in the works, so it looks like I'll be waiting in line for that rifle, unless I get ancy and want the AK-103 irregardless.

Point is, I'd advise you to wait and see what rifles, features they're offering, and if you (and I) don't like them, I'm giving Chris a call.

Campy, AK-USA is not Arsenal Kazanlak. They do a conversion of the Izmash Saiga rifle, which is stamped. Krebs does this conversion too.

Here's the AK-103 by Krebs; scroll down, the title got messed up:
