Availability: In Stock
The Riley Defense 7.62x39mm AK rifle with 16" barrel and black laminate stock delivers authentic AK platform performance in a California-compliant package. Built on a fully heat-treated, mil-spec stamped receiver with a forged trunnion and bolt carrier, this American-made rifle combines proven reliability with domestic craftsmanship. Whether you're a modern sporting rifle enthusiast, AK collector, or shooter looking for a no-nonsense 7.62x39 platform, this Riley Defense build strips away the hype and gives you the core features that matter: solid construction, adjustable sights, and practical ergonomics.
Riley Defense engineered this rifle around mil-spec principles. The 4150 nitride barrel is built to handle full-power 7.62x39 ammunition, while the black oxide finish and laminate wood furniture—upper and lower handguards, buttstock, and compliant pistol grip—keep the rifle light and manageable. A machined side rail gives you a mounting point for optics or lights without permanent modifications, and the adjustable front and rear sights are combat-ready out of the box. The 10-round magazine capacity reflects California compliance, but the rifle itself is built to last.
Practical features abound: bolt hold-open safety lever, bayonet lug, extended magazine release, and an included cleaning rod mean you're ready to shoot and maintain this rifle immediately. At 35.25 inches overall length with a 16-inch barrel, it balances firepower and handling. Effective range runs to 350 yards for precision work, with a maximum range of 1000 yards—solid for both target shooting and hunting applications where 7.62x39 is appropriate.
