The Riley Defense 7.62x39mm AK rifle with 16" barrel and MFT Minimalist stock is a domestically manufactured takes on the proven AK platform, built for shooters who want a genuinely American-made rifle without sacrificing the legendary reliability of the original design. This semi-automatic rifle splits the difference between classic AK ergonomics and modern tactical adaptability—useful whether you're running drills at the range, hunting medium game, or just appreciating the engineering that goes into a well-built 7.62x39 rifle.
Riley Defense engineered this rifle around a fully heat-treated mil-spec stamped receiver paired with a 4150 nitride barrel, a forged trunnion, and bolt carrier that'll handle hard use without flinching. The 16.25-inch barrel (with 1:7.63 left-hand twist and 14×1 LH threads) keeps the overall length to 36.5 inches—handy in vehicles or tight spaces without surrendering the velocity and terminal performance the 7.62x39 cartridge is known for. The Mission First Tactical collapsible stock and pistol grip let you dial in your setup, while the aluminum quad rails give you real estate for optics, lights, or other gear if you want to build it out.
Standard features include adjustable front and rear sights, a side-mounted scope rail, bolt hold-open safety lever, bayonet lug, and an extended magazine release. The black oxide finish protects the metal surfaces, and the rifle ships with a cleaning rod and accepts standard 30-round magazines. Effective range sits at 350 yards for practical hunting and tactical work, with a maximum range of 1,000 yards.

Riley Defense manufactures this rifle entirely in the USA with a fully heat-treated mil-spec stamped receiver, forged trunnion, and 4150 nitride barrel—components built to handle sustained use without the wear patterns or potential issues that can come with older surplus or hastily assembled platforms. You get the AK reliability you expect, backed by American manufacturing standards and quality control.
Yes. The rifle features a machined side scope mount rail and comes fitted with aluminum quad rails, giving you multiple options for mounting red dots, magnified scopes, lights, or other accessories depending on your intended use.
The rifle is rated for an effective range of 350 yards, which covers most hunting applications for medium game and realistic tactical distances. Maximum range extends to 1,000 yards, though effective accuracy and energy downrange taper significantly beyond the effective range threshold.
