This 7.62x39mm rifle features a shark fin grip configuration and 10-round capacity, allowing Golden State shooters to experience the proven AK design without compromise.

What Makes This Different

Built on Century Arms' enhanced VSKA platform, this rifle incorporates a strengthened bolt carrier group and improved metallurgy compared to earlier AK variants.

Black phosphate coating on the receiver provides superior corrosion resistance over standard Parkerizing finishes.
