The Riley Defense 5.45x39mm AK rifle brings American-made craftsmanship to one of the most iconic platforms in shooting sports. Built on a fully heat-treated, mil-spec stamped receiver with a forged trunnion and bolt carrier, this 5.45x39 rifle delivers the reliability shooters expect from an AK platform, with the quality control of domestic manufacturing. The 16-inch chrome-lined barrel is threaded 24x1.5 (right-hand) and finished in black oxide, while the side-folding triangular metal stock and polymer furniture make it equally at home on the range, in a vehicle, or in the field. Whether you're exploring a new caliber, setting up a reliable intermediate rifle, or building a modern AK collection, this is a serious tool backed by proven mechanical design.

Handling and ergonomics are straightforward and combat-proven. The polymer hand guards and pistol grip are black, low-profile, and comfortable for extended shooting. Both front and rear sights are adjustable, letting you dial in your zero without guesswork. The side-folding stock reduces overall length to 35.25 inches when collapsed—compact without sacrificing a full cheek weld when deployed. A 90-degree gas block, extended magazine release, and bolt hold-open safety lever round out the feature set, while the included cleaning rod and bayonet lug speak to the rifle's practical, no-nonsense design philosophy.

This is a semi-automatic, closed-bolt rifle chambered in 5.45x39mm—the same intermediate cartridge used by military forces worldwide, known for flat trajectory and manageable recoil. The 30-round magazine capacity and adjustable sights give you real utility for target work, competition, or field use out to 350 yards effectively, with a maximum range of 1000 yards. A machined scope mount side rail is also installed, so mounting optics is straightforward if your mission demands magnification. All of this comes in a single, cohesive design: a rifle that works hard and doesn't ask for apologies.
