Doesn't bother me one bit if they went under. I was never going to be a customer. When a US company starts asking a $1k or more for an AK, then I look elsewhere. As in imports. And honestly, if the US made AK in question is just a couple hundred within the price of an import, I'm buying the import
When I saw the thread title I read it as KATUSA (Korean Augmentation to the United States Army.)
When I was at K-2 (Taegu Air Base) back in the day (31 years ago) the ROKAF (Republic of Korea Air Force) Airmen ABSOLUTELY HATED the KATUSA. I remember a bud who worked out in the MAGNUM (no idea what the acronym stands for, but MAGNUM for a Bomb Dump is pretty cool) saying when the KATUSA showed up, you could feel the hatred.
