Snake Hound Machine's SHOT Rifles (2013 Product Line)

Published January 14, 2013

A little update for you on the Snake Hound Machine rifles we talked about a few day ago. In addition to the rifles on display at the Mission First Tactical booth (#11966) there will be another with Versa-Pod Bipods (which are very nice, by the way - booth #1000) and Samson MFG, booth #20327. The two MFT display rifles are demo models of the SHM 2013 line.

As I wrote before, each rifle SHM makes is made one-at a time. From SHM:

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.
