The Arsenal .223 Remington AK rifle with 16.3" barrel brings authentic Kalashnikov engineering to the American shooter who wants precision, durability, and modern ergonomics in one package. This semi-automatic rifle is built on a milled steel receiver—hammer-forged and heat-treated using Bulgarian factory methods—resulting in a firearm engineered for decades of reliable service. If you're drawn to the AK platform but want a 5.56x45mm (.223 Rem) cartridge, a short-stroke design, and the ability to mount optics and accessories, this Arsenal deserves serious consideration.
The receiver starts as a hammer-forged blank that undergoes over 5.5 hours of precision milling—a labor-intensive process that eliminates internal voids and creates exceptionally fine-grained steel. The 16.3-inch chrome-lined barrel is cold hammer-forged and features 14x1mm left-hand muzzle threads with a removable muzzle brake included. A Fime Enhanced Fire Control Group comes installed, offering the kind of tuned trigger response AK enthusiasts appreciate. The AR-M5F Picatinny rail system runs along three sides of the lower handguard, giving you multiple mounting options for lights, lasers, and other tactical gear—something you won't find on a standard AK.
The rifle ships with an intermediate-length US-made trapdoor buttstock (13.4" length of pull), adjustable sights, a bayonet lug, an AK-pattern scope rail, a 30-round magazine, sling, cleaning rod, oil bottle, and complete cleaning kit. The black polymer furniture is durable and low-maintenance. This is a 922(r)-compliant rifle that functions with both US-made and imported magazines, giving you flexibility in the field or at the range.

This is a semi-automatic rifle that requires a Federal Firearms License (FFL) to purchase. It is 922(r) compliant and designed to work with both US-made and imported magazines, making it a lawful semi-automatic offering in the United States. You'll need to follow all applicable federal, state, and local firearms laws.
Yes. The AR-M5F Picatinny rail system runs on three sides of the lower handguard, and the rifle includes an AK-pattern scope rail. These mounting surfaces let you add optics, lights, lasers, and other tactical gear without significant gunsmithing.
The rifle ships with a 30-round magazine, sling, cleaning rod, oil bottle, complete cleaning kit, and bayonet lug. The scope rail is already installed, and the muzzle brake is removable but included.
The Arsenal milled receiver is hammer-forged from a blank—a process that produces finer-grained steel and eliminates internal voids—then precision-machined over 5.5+ hours. This labor-intensive construction delivers exceptional strength, precision, and durability compared to simpler stamped designs.
