To Build What Veterans Couldn't Bring Home
Like many Vets these days, Steve Russell was very frustrated that he or any of the soldiers under his command couldn’t actually bring back captured rifles from their campaigns overseas, unlike previous generations of American infantrymen. So if you can’t bring back rifles, maybe the next best step is to make them? This is exactly what Steve did with Two River Arms, a company in Oklahoma City that makes excellent copies of Iraqi Tabuks from Yugo M72 parts kits, complete with Iraqi markings in Arabic and all. The niche that this company fills is extremely unique and small for that matter, very unlike most any Kalashnikov producing companies in the AK business. They are uniquely tied into the conflicts of our era that directly connects the small arms from those conflicts.

By the time I came home in 1972 you weren't allowed to bring back much and certainly no firearms, in the beginning of 1972 we were suppose to stand down and ship back to the states so we packed everything up and shipped it home only to be told we were staying, anyway when they crated up our personal stuff to ship they went through it looking for anything not allowed, I had these giant 3 foot incense sticks I threw in my stuff and I wasn't allowed to ship them, no firearms no what they deemed contraband I had a rifle given to me and I had to give it up.
Anyone have any experience with the company?
