The Swiss Arms SG 553 RP 4K Rifle features the ability to take AK-47 magazines and 7.62x39mm cartridges currently deployed with certain tac units overseas. The adjustable gas system allows the user to run at a level that works best for them.
This one displayed by Larry Vicker of Vickers Tactical is a pistol modified with an SBR.
According to Larry, it took Swiss Arms quite a while in getting the kinks out so that it can take a wide variety of AK magazine. Sounds simple but time consuming process.
Here's the following AK mag types that it will take:
- Bulgarian Circle 10
- Bulgarian Black Circle 10
- Soviet Slab Side
- Magpul Pmag
- Soviet Paratroop Aluminmum mag
- Red Bake Light
- Warsaw Pact Steel Mag
Considered one of the best non AK platform shooting the 7.62.
Has excellent trigger control obviously a top notch AK. At a price of $2,650, it's certainly priced more for the collector than the shooter. Would you get one? See the full footage of this Swiss Arms 553 RP 4K in action here.

I stopped reading at “a price of $2,650”. For that kind of money I could add a very nice M1 to my collection.

My choice to put my life on the line. Recent gun show prices in Delaware for an M-1 range from $1200-$1450.

"At a price of $2,650, it's certainly priced more for the collector than the shooter." Has the author priced the FN SCAR 17s (heavy) lately? The Swiss Arms SG 553 RP is a bargain in comparison.
The 2018 list price for the SCAR in 7.62 is now $3,499. If you can find one.
