First off, the AK-style weapon specialists have launched a new website – snakehoundmachine.com.

Second, they are coming out in a big way at SHOT SHow. They gave us this statement which will tell you where to find their guns at SHOT Show and a little about ordering them.

We have two completely custom AK-47 type rifles on display at SHOT, generously hosted by Mission First Tactical located in booth #11966. We also have one rifle on display with Samson MFG at booth #20327, and one rifle on display with Versa-pod Bipods at booth #10070.

The Mission First Tactical display rifles are demonstration models of our 2013 line and both rifles will be available to order at time of release.

Every rifle we make is done one at a time, by hand, to exacting tolerances. We want to make the absolutely best AKM rifles in the world. The current state of the market, and price and availability of parts and components has greatly dictated our prices and lead times. We will be offering 3 AKM models in 2013 and a limit of 25 rifles per model. Once those orders have been placed we will stop taking orders until all orders have been fulfilled. A reasonable expectation for delivery is six to eight months, with all rifles being delivered in 2013.
