Arizona Response Systems (ARS) Built "Replica" StG 58.
This is the first one I've ever seen. It belongs to my neighbor who has never, ever, fired it. How he acquired it, is anybody's guess. He is a Purple Heart Vietnam vet and has turned down all my invitations to attend some of our local shoots. I guess he got his fill of shooting during his Southeast Asia Camp Out.
T. Mark Graham of ARS built exactly ten of these back around 2000. He used matching s/n Austrian parts kits and Imbel forged receivers. He re-machined and re-marked the receivers to duplicate the original Austrian markings. After receiving a "Cease and Desist" letter from FN no more of these rifles were ever built.
