Thats interesting.
I doubt the ak-47 specs are some big secret and Russia is still making them.
AK-47 has a sorry history. And it was well designed but poorly manufactured.
An AR-15 with a gas operated upper has made the AK-47 obsolete.

But.....
It is one of the easiest automatic rifles to build from scratch materials.
Third world sand pit tent hovels has 12 year olds beating out sheet metal parts for these, i cannot envision all the lathes, mills, tig welders and craftsmen across America NOT geing able to do the same....or better.
Of course. Gotta arm the muzzies flooding across the border with their weapon of choice.
Wonder why they moved out of PA.
PA is very gun friendly.
But does have some insane union laws
It is a shame I won’t be able to get any of these, because of the Maryland ban, but I did get 3 of them before the ban went into effect. Mine have quadrails and on one of them I installed a folding stock.
Don't they know that global warming is going to put that factory under water by the end of 2015?
Selling them to whom? BLM? ATF? Park Rangers? Ranger Rick? Postal Workers Union? 0bie needs his new army, you know.
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Oh man, Broward county is about 70% Demon Rat.....how funny!!
1. No one has manufactured AK47s since 1959, the year production changed to AKMs.
2. AKs originally were made by Izhevsk Machine (IzhMash). The Kalashnikov Concern was what emerged from a 2012 merger between Izhevsk Mechanical (Izmekh) and (bankrupt) IzhMash.
3. 30-rounds is a STANDARD capacity magazine, not high.
4. Custom & boutique gun shops aside, there isn’t a single firearms manufacturer in America that sells direct to public. They ALL sell through third-party dealers.
5. The city of Pompano Beach has no authority under US law to license or otherwise control or enable import/export. If they indeed did this, Kalashnikov USA got snookered.
6. Are they inferring that it purports something sinister that the company’s import license does not limit with whom they may conduct international business?
7. Only prototype AKs were built in 1947. The Soviets conducted field trials in the winter of 1947-48 and production wasn’t approved (or begun) until mid-1948. It did not become the standard Soviet infantry weapon until 1956.
8. “...[A] gun friendly state with relatively loose gun laws....” This bit obviously belongs on the editorial pages, not in the “news.” Oh, my bad, ...the Communist News Network has done NOTHING BUT opinion since Breshnev ran the Kremlin.
