Riley Defense RAK47 Features

The Riley Defense RAK47 is an American-made AKM pattern rifle that is made 100% in the United States.  This rifle operates on a long-stroke gas piston with a 2-lug rotating bolt just like the classic AK.  It is built with a 16 inch barrel and has a stamped receiver that is precision-assembled through the use of cutting-edge technology and assembly practices.  The receiver includes a dovetail on the left side for attaching an optics mount.

Riley Defense RAK47 Capacity

The RAK47 is chambered in 7.62x39mm and feeds from all standard Soviet-bloc AKM magazines as well as the plastic Tapco mags.  This gives the rifle a standard magazine capacity of 30 rounds while also accepting the smaller 5, 10 and 20 round mags.  These rifles have no issue accepting the AKM pattern drum magazines, but it does not work with Saiga magazines.
The standard RAK47 measures 35.25 inches long and has an unloaded weight equal to other AKs on the market.  With the different models offered by Riley Defense, lengths and weights can vary.  The rifle that offers the best mobility is their RAK47-P-SF that includes a folding stock that allows the rifle to measure a touch over 26 inches.  With some practice, climbing in and out of vehicles or navigating tight spaces can be very easy.

Riley Defense RAK47 Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The RAK47 has the same controls as any other AK on the market, and the front handguard has a palm swell on the left and right sides to improve feel and control.  The biggest change to ergonomics over any other AK can be found in its stock.  While most AK’s have a considerable drop in the stock, the RAK47 has an in-line profile.  While this does increase perceived recoil, it reduces muzzle climb and with a bit of practice, it allows for faster follow-up shots.


Riley Defense RAK47 Fit & Finish

The RAK47 is built with parts that are ALL American made.  Unlike other US-based AK builders who use parts kits from Eastern Europe, Riley Defense manufactures the overwhelming majority of their components and outsources the rest of the pieces to American factories and machine shops.  Riley Defense builds their rifles with stamped receivers, and these rifles are far more durable and reliable thanks to their build including a forged barrel trunnion.


Fit and Finish

Riley Defense RAK47 Concealability

Concealability
Riley Defense makes a pistol version of the RAK47.  While this would make an excellent candidate to Form-1 into an SBR, it’s not something that you can tuck inside of your waistband.  It can, however, be tucked away behind a nightstand for quick access as a home defense tool or tucked under the seat of your car just in case you ever get the urge to hit up the gun range on your way home from work.
