Frequently Asked Questions

What major defect was found on the I.O. Inc. AK47's front sight?

The front sight post drum was found to be extremely loose, allowing it to be moved significantly with just finger pressure. This defect made it impossible to achieve or maintain a consistent zero for accurate shooting.

Did the I.O. Inc. AK47 pass its initial safety checks?

Surprisingly, the rifle passed a 'no-go' headspace gauge test before any rounds were fired. However, this did not prevent significant mechanical issues and failures to feed during subsequent testing.

What reliability issues were observed with the I.O. Inc. AK47?

During rapid fire testing, the rifle experienced multiple failures to feed (FTF) within the first few magazines. This occurred with both standard surplus and Magpul magazines, indicating a problem with the firearm itself.

Were there any quality control issues noted besides mechanical defects?

Yes, the rifle arrived with a 'QC Approval' sticker but was missing the standard cleaning rod. This further highlighted concerns about the manufacturer's quality control standards and attention to detail.
