Riley Defense RAK-47 Krink 7.62x39mm 8.5" Pistol 30rd Black Nitride

The Riley Defense RAK102KRINKWSF delivers authentic AK-47 performance in a compact pistol configuration. This 7.62x39mm platform combines the proven Kalashnikov operating system with modern manufacturing precision for reliable function in any environment. The shortened 8.5-inch barrel maintains ballistic effectiveness while offering enhanced maneuverability in confined spaces.

What Makes This Different

This pistol variant features a mil-spec receiver machined to exact tolerances with a black nitride finish that provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard phosphate coatings. The Krink-style configuration originated from Soviet special forces requirements for a compact yet powerful platform. Riley Defense manufacturing processes ensure consistent headspace and proper bolt timing for optimal reliability across various ammunition weights.

Key Features

• 8.5-inch cold hammer forged barrel with 1:10 twist rate for stabilizing heavy grain bullets
• Black nitride finish on all steel components resists wear and environmental degradation
