The Riley Defense RAK47 Krink delivers AK-pattern reliability in a compact 8.5-inch barrel configuration optimized for California compliance. This 7.62x39mm pistol combines traditional Kalashnikov engineering with modern manufacturing standards and state-specific modifications.
What Makes This Different
Built on Riley Defense's proven RAK platform, this Krink variant features a 4150 steel barrel with nitride coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and extended service life. The compact 8.5-inch barrel maintains ballistic effectiveness while reducing overall length compared to full-size rifles. California-specific modifications include a fixed magazine system and compliance features that meet state regulations without compromising core functionality.
