Riley Defense RAK101CA AK-47 7.62x39mm 16.25" CA Compliant Rifle

The Riley Defense RAK101CA delivers authentic AK-47 performance while meeting California's strict compliance requirements. This 7.62x39mm rifle combines traditional reliability with state-mandated modifications that don't compromise functionality.

What Makes This Different

Built on a forged steel receiver with proper heat treatment, the RAK101CA maintains the structural integrity that makes AK platforms legendary for durability. The laminated wood stock provides superior moisture resistance compared to standard hardwood, while the shark fin grip configuration ensures California compliance without affecting ergonomics. Riley Defense machines these rifles to tighter tolerances than many imported variants, resulting in improved accuracy potential.

• 16.25-inch chrome-lined barrel with 1:10 twist rate
• Laminated wood stock and handguard for enhanced durability
• California-compliant shark fin grip configuration
• Adjustable front and rear sights with standard AK sight radius

The RAK101CA handles the full range of 7.62x39mm ammunition from 123-grain FMJ to 154-grain soft points. The chrome-lined bore extends barrel life significantly during high-volume shooting sessions. Range performance typically produces 2-3 MOA groups with quality ammunition, making it suitable for hunting applications within 200 yards. The rifle cycles reliably in adverse conditions thanks to the proven Kalashnikov operating system.
