In addition, many states have passed gun control restrictions regarding permissible configurations for your AK. Optics and mounts are considered accessories and don’t affect your rifle’s 922(r) status. All parts on the 922(r) list we will discuss here are American-made, and we recommend always buying made-in-the-USA components for your Kalashnikov so you don’t have to worry about subtracting from your USA parts count. For AKs in particular, this means you need a minimum of 5 American-made parts for a rifle with a bare muzzle and 6 American-made parts for a rifle using a muzzle device. To keep your rifle legal, it must contain no more than ten foreign parts from the list.

Speedbump: A Quick Note On Federal and State Law With these upgrades installed, your Kalashnikov will be safer, more accurate, more controllable, and more comfortable to shoot.

What’s needed is a Kalashnikov 2.0 for the 21st-century American shooter. This historic design has clearly aged, and deficiencies that once seemed pretty minor are holding it back versus more modern rifles.
In 2018, more than 70 years after Mikhail Kalashnikov’s first design was submitted for its military trials, the AK remains a force to be reckoned with, but long in the tooth. I believe we should now judge the AK based on its true performance using modern standards. Once the Cold War ended and Kalashnikovs became available to the American civilian, the myth and legend of “the enemy’s rifle” fell away over time. That was never true, but there was no way to disprove it until the CIA paid $5,000 for the first AK-74 captured by the Mujahedeen from Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Suddenly the M16 needed a 30-round magazine of its own, and quickly! Later, when the AK-74 was first seen by western observers, rumors spread that the new Soviet design could chamber and fire our 5.56 NATO ammunition, but our M16s couldn’t fire the Russian 5.45 ammo without exploding.

Early American M16s featured 20 round magazines, until troops fighting in Vietnam encountered AK-47s firing. Younger shooters may not appreciate the mystique and fear that the AK captured in the minds of Americans during the Cold War. More than 100 million have been made in a dizzying variety of models and calibers. If you measure the success of a tool by the number produced and the service life of each one made, the AK-47 pattern rifle is one of the most successful tools in human history.
