Opossum’s R&D Department LLC started back in 2014 in a machine class shop in Corpus Christi, Texas. Opossum being passionate for firearms more in particular the AK platform sketched up a couple part designs in class and asked the professor if he could try and make these parts for a grade and well he got the green light. While machining multiple prototypes a fellow classmate and good friend went up to Opossum and said “How’s it going?”, Opossum replied “I think I got it this time so let’s see if it’ll fit.”. The friend grabs an AK BCG and tries to slide the part on and then makes the statement ” Looks like more R&D is required!”.
Every time after that, Opossum would make a new prototype and if it was off his friend would say “Looks like more R&D is required!”. Then his friend had an idea to call Opossum’s future business Opossum’s R&D and Opossum replied with “How about Opossum’s R&D Department.” and come 9 years later Opossum’s R&D Department took its first breath as an official business on January 11th, 2023 in the great state of Texas.
