Hello everyone,
My name is Jeremy and I am one of the co-owners of Evocatus Strategic. I actually came across this thread from a web search and was pleasantly surprised to find some buzz about us here. As such, I thought that I would join in and give you some updates first hand. I suppose the best way to proceed might be to give you some back ground on us. Evocatus is comprised of the three of us: myself, my dad (Danny), and Jeff. We are all veterans which is where our name comes from. An "Evocatus" comes from the early Roman army and signified a soldier who had served their time but came back into service upon the request of the commander. I am retired Marine Corps, my father was a Marine Vietnam vet, and Jeff is prior Army Special Forces medic. As huge 2A advocates, we view this endeavor as serving again.
We have privately built AK's for quite some time. A year ago, we decided that we wanted to see if we could chamber it in 6.5 Grendel. Our prototype was successful (we call an "AK Sigma") which is actually what we used for the 1,000-yard shoot video. That was a 24" steel target shooting with a 16" barrel and steel-cased Wolf ammo which averages about $0.28/rd. We went to Csspecs to manufacture the 6.5G mags and built them a mock-up of our receiver to go off of. Concurrent to all of this, we have also developed a 9x39mm chambered AK.
We look to market our AK Sigma as an Extended Range Battle Rifle. It has been slow going as we have found creating a firearms company from scratch to be a challenge, but we continue to move forward. We first debuted our builds at Kalash Bash in Texas last April. We will be at Kalashnicon in Missouri at the end of this month and then Kalash Bash 2020 in March as event sponsors. We will be building two rifles in the field that weekend at that event and raffling them off to attendees. Our website is being built (by a pro) right now, but we are at work becoming authorized dealers for many great brands. For example, Savior rifle cases; we look to ship every one of our firearms in one of their range cases. Additionally, we will be teaching AK build classes, tactical medical training, as well as many other projects that I am not at liberty to yet announce.
At present time, we are working on a Waiting List as we've had many people express interest in what we're doing well before we were able to provide production firearms. We want to make sure that we are bringing the very best quality to our customers. There’s so much more to share, but I feel like this is already become a novel. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer them. We really believe in this cartridge and that it is the future of the AK platform.
