    G-1 and M422As

    Aero vs BK

    Was wondering what you guys think? BK seems to have upped their game, now with the Victory Horse available. For those of you who are lucky enough to have owned both a Kelso and an Aero A-2, how would you compare quality, workmanship, etc...? Take a chance on a BK or go with a trusted Aero?

    Original AVG Bronco?

    Stumbled across this and it piqued my interest.... I may be wrong, but didn't the Broncos come out after the AVGs were absorbed into the AAF? It looks genuine though.... Thoughts?
