Product Overview

The Riley Defense 5.45x39mm AK rifle brings authentic Kalashnikov ergonomics and reliability to American shooters in a platform built right here at home. Chambered in 5.45x39, this rifle delivers the legendary AK operating system with modern manufacturing standards—ideal for shooters who want proven combat rifle performance without sacrificing quality or getting bogged down by import logistics. The 16-inch barrel strikes a practical balance between velocity and handling, making it suitable for both tactical training and hunting applications within its effective range.

Built on a fully heat-treated mil-spec stamped receiver, this Riley Defense rifle doesn't cut corners on the foundation. The chrome-lined barrel is threaded 24x1.5 RH for suppressor compatibility and future accessory mounting, while the forged trunnion, bolt, and carrier group promise the kind of durability AK shooters expect. The semi-automatic, closed-bolt action fires reliably whether you're running quality surplus ammo or modern manufactured rounds. A machined side-rail scope mount gives you optics options without permanent modifications, and both front and rear iron sights arrive pre-installed and fully adjustable—you're ready to shoot out of the box.

The furniture reflects traditional AK aesthetics: teak wood butt stock, upper and lower handguards, and Bakelite pistol grip give it classic character while the black oxide finish handles hard use without fussing. Practical touches include a bolt hold-open safety lever, bayonet lug, cleaning rod, and extended magazine release for faster reloads. The 30-round magazine capacity and 35.25-inch overall length keep things manageable in the field or on the range. Whether you're building your first AK or adding an American-made alternative to your battery, Riley Defense delivers the rifle without the sales pitch.
