Ethiopian AKs (GAFAT) Are Coming To The US?

Summary

Royal Tiger Imports has announced plans to import AK parts kits from Ethiopia, specifically GAFAT-manufactured AKs. These rifles, identified by unique markings like 'GAFAT-I' and features similar to North Korean Type 68 AKMs, were produced at a factory built with North Korean assistance between 1984 and 1987. The author notes the kits' distinctive and often poor rivet work.
