Inter Ordnance/I.O. Inc.'s Changes
They've been selling surplus weapons and in-house manufactured AKs for many years, and I was always pretty intrigued with them, as a company. Started by a couple of brothers who emigrated (legally!) from Germany, they began on a shoestring budget, bringing in guns from their land of birth, Europe, particularly the old communist part. One of the two departed for new horizons a few years ago, but the remaining one decided to move from North Carolina to Florida, last year.
Here's how they describe that:
I.O.INC, the reborn Inter Ordnance,
relocated in summer 2013 to Florida. With the transition to the Space Coast, we have been able to hire top quality engineers and assembly personnel, who worked before for NASA and defense contractors. I.O. has invested heavily in new production and manufacturing equipment, as well as training policies and procedures for both assembly and customer service, in order to provide the highest quality manufacturing and service. Many members of our manufacturing team have also served our country in the armed forces.
Our rifles, which are 100% US-made AK-47, AR 15 and 45 ACP 1911 Commander size pistols, go through a vigorous quality control inspection process after assembly. Every firearm we make is test fired and then checked for blemishes or imperfections by three different technicians (two gunsmiths and one manager). After quality control our rifles are send directly to our shipping department and go out to our distributors and later to our customers. (Ellet Brothers, RSR, Classic Arms, Big Rock, Jerry`s, Baumler, Zanders, AIM, Centerfire Systems, Sports South, S.O.G., etc.
In addition to the existing line, we developed a new line of tactical AK47 rifles and pistols. The M214-Nano, one of the smallest AK 47 pistols in the world. Our Nano is 100% made in the USA and far superior than the Romanian made Draco and Draco mini pistol offered by Century Arms. In addition to this we developed a AK47 sniper rifle as well the M214-Sniper.
Inter Ordnance manufactures the AR 15/M4 to the highest quality standards. Receivers are machined out of aluminum forgings. The bolt and bolt carrier are made of 8620 and 158 carpenter steel and are all Mil-Spec. We offer the AR-15 in 4 versions. Vietnam style, Colt, M 16 type AR 15 A1. AR 15 carbine M 4 style with carbine style round hand guards and front A 2 sight. The AR 15 carbine M 4 style with quad rail hand guard and a low profile gas block. The AR 15 car-15 Vietnam Area The AR 15 pistol. To serve the end user better, we are distributing our products through major distributors to provide wider availability. That means that our customers have better access to our goods through this vast distribution, dealer network.
Purchasing I.O. Incorporated firearms assures that you are buying quality made in our U.S. homeland with qualified U.S. labor. Our staff is committed to manufacturing high quality firearms, as well as efficient and professional customer service.
