Product Overview

The Riley Defense 7.62x39mm AK rifle with 16" barrel brings affordability and reliability to the AK platform without cutting corners on build quality. Built on a fully heat-treated, mil-spec stamped receiver with a forged trunnion and bolt carrier, this semi-automatic rifle handles the economical 7.62x39 cartridge with the same proven robustness that has made the AK design legendary. The 16.25" chrome-lined barrel is threaded 24x1 RH and features a 90-degree gas block; it's built for accuracy and longevity in a compact form that works both at the range and in the field.

The side-folding triangular metal stock makes this rifle genuinely portable—fold it down and you've got a rifle that fits tight spaces in vehicles, bags, or tight quarters. The 30-round capacity and extended magazine release mean you won't fumble when you need to swap mags fast. Adjustable iron sights come standard, and the machined scope mount side rail gives you options if you want to add glass. Black polymer grip and handguard keep things lightweight while the black oxide finish resists corrosion.

This is a shooter's AK: built to US specifications with American manufacturing standards, it avoids the import headaches while delivering the cartridge efficiency and controllability that make 7.62x39 a go-to for mid-range work. Whether you're stacking rounds on paper at 350 yards or running it as a truck rifle, the Riley Defense AK-platform design has earned respect among shooters who don't settle for budget builds. The included cleaning rod and thoughtful details like the bolt hold open safety lever show Riley Defense understands what matters to people who actually use their guns.
