Riley Defense is making US made AK rifles and variants designed to provide you with an authentic feel with unparalleled performance. The heart of the classical rifle is the fully heat treated Stamped receiver. The design holds true to the original AK platform which started off as a stamped gun before the Russian military moved into milling and ultimately back to stamped. The barrel is made from 4150 steel which has been nitrided and features a 24x1.5 right hand threaded barrel with a muzzle device installed. The Teak upper and lower hand guards with a side folding triangular metal stock complete the upgraded look along with a Bakelite pistol grip. The RAK-74-C-SF Classical is a very modern AK-74 in both the looks and feel department and will be ideal for the AK enthusiast.
