Doesn't look like it. Last I heard/read Gordon Tech had moved away from gun builds and switched back to parts. He was accidentally "killed off" on the AK Forum four years ago, but I don't know if he's still around or not.

Fun side note - Jerry invented the trigger that nearly everyone with an AK has in their home right now. Guess what the "G" in "G2" stands for

tonight i dug up an old forum post they said he passed away... i was at his house in cedar lake in the mid 90s he was building a boatload of SLRs with milled receivers and he mentioned the trigger, i also read he sold the patent to tapco... that sucks he was a pretty straight guy i was hoping to buy a couple of aks from him...

That's some pretty cool history you have with him and his family. I'm a recent transplant to Indiana, but am somewhat familiar with his work from my time spent on the AK Files and other combloc enthusiast forums. His guns are still out there, but you'll likely need to search the secondhand market to score one for yourself. There's an SSR-99 on Gunbroker right now with no bids. It ends in seven hours from the time of this posting. $1,400ish asking price. In my personal GB experience it never hurts to contact the seller directly and make a private offline offer, but even if the seller turns you down on that, $1,400 still seems in line with the current market on these rifles.

I had one of his milled AK’s several years ago. Nice rifle that had a battlefield pick up look to it.

I wish I still had it.
