Hey all, we've been working on this project for about a year, and are proud to announce it been released in retail! Available in Black, FDE, and ODG Cerekote.

Like and follow us on Instagram @crookednorthcustoms for special announcements.

And yes, marketing is now well aware of how we feel about the AI "enhancement" of the concept photo, which is in fact a real build.

Guys... 700 for machined aluminum in Canada isn't too bad. This is what is costs to make things locally.

If you wanted to spin up tooling and start to produce a comparable semi-auto rifle in an intermediate cartridge with a milled steel receiver, how much do you think it would retail at?

Just 'cause it's milsurp and a government paid most of that cost already doesn't mean the value isn't there, especially with the supply limitations we're seeing.

This is the unfortunate state of the market as a result of legislation. If you don't want to put your SKS in a chassis, no one is making you do it.
