The first American-made Kalashnikovs are now for sale

[righteousbarbarian]

I called Four Seasons earlier today and asked some employee about the American made AKs. Only after asking someone else did he confirm that Four Seasons would distribute them. I then screamed

I WANT TO KNOW THE PRICE!!!

and was told that they don't have any in so there are no prices on them yet.

It's a way around the sanctions against Russian firearms. Parts come in, they get assembled into rifles, sold as American products.

Ahh makes sense. I thought they were licensing the design and these were going to be 100% made in the USA. I was afraid that us made parts would send the cost through the roof, so this is better.

No 5.45s???

No SVD?

Dafuq...

Bob's in Webster has at least one model in stock. Was on the Facebooks today.

 

[mikelawtown]

I got in touch with Kalashnikov USA today and he told me that Only that us132z was out but the others will be out "VERY" soon is all he can tell me. I asked if he could give me the Month and he say's July. when I know more i'll post up. My Dealer also said he's having issues with them over pricing, that may be why it's taking time...

 

[johnnymac101]

Any news on availability?

 

[Varmint]

So these have threaded barrels, so I assume a muzzle device needs to be pinned - is the stock muzzle device legal in MA?

Four Seasons only sells MA-gimped model rifles right? I wonder what version they will be selling.

 

[rocket500]

The version they carry has no threading on the barrel.

The version they carry has no threading on the barrel.

That's what I'd go for. Nice classic look. Some of the others look a little to Frankenstein-y for my tastes.

I like the classic look too be it wood or polymer. I just wish they'd have added a lug even if the ears were ground so it could serve as a cleaning rod holder.

Before everyone starts with the not cleaning AKs replies, the cleaning rod is useful in knocking out squibs.

 

[mikelawtown]

it will be my Beater AK

 

[johnnymac101]

Yeah, this is the one I like too!

I was told by a Rep 2 weeks 4 weeks ago..so no clue yet

From the looks of that pic these are converted Saigas. Same gas and sight blocks, even plugs on the lower rear of the receiver where the trigger pins normally are. Makes me wonder if there's a bullet guide.

Maybe these aren't even production? Just stuff they mocked up?

Did you click on the how easy it is to buy a gun link in there

Unfortunately. It is a pile of crap.

Hundreds of stores sell guns, from big chains like Walmart (WMT) to family-run shops like Ken's Sporting Goods & Liquor Store in Crescent, Ore. Or you can attend one of the dozens of gun shows that take place almost every weekend nationwide. People also regularly buy guns from neighbors or family members.

A background check is conducted only in store purchases.

But gun buyers don't have to go through a background check when they make a purchase at a gun show.

What's so hard about getting a FFl to tack the muzzle nut on?

I think Northeast Arms has them in stock already.

Hmm, US-made AK or Galil ACE?

Mass compliant?
No Bayo , Brake will need pin/weld that's it. But I doubt they will do a Mass comp model. I hope but doubt

These don't have a bayonet lug or cleaning rod (maybe that's what you meant). Why would you hope for a MA compliant model? They're always more expensive.

Although I suppose if it was MA compliant you could get them dirt cheap at Four Seasons.

wonder if king obama shares our enthusiasm

obama is 100% for the wood, loves that wood, the more wood, the bigger the wood, the better, black wood, white wood, brown wood, yellow wood, all good. if a wood chuck could chuck wood, he would issue an EO for all wood to be chucked to him.

 

[Varmint]

Anyone know how it compares to the Century Arms C39 milled AK?

http://handgunplanet.com/review/century-arms-c39v2-milled-ak47/

seems to be US made and similar price.

C39 is up or down. If you want Milled look at DDI. I asked DDI if they will have Wood Models for their Milled and waiting to hear back from them.
