Default 7.62X39 Rifle

Does anyone know of a semi-auto rifle in 7.62X39 that uses AK47 magazines but does not have the evil pistol grip? And don't tell me Saiga, because the Saiga will not properly seat an AK magazine.

I know of several that are chambered in 7.62 but use proprietary magazines, Saiga, Ruger Mini30, Norinco Hunter. Can anyone come up with one? Thanks.

Take a CMMG Mutant and replace the pistol grip and stock with some of the non pistol grip stocks that are currently available

Living here in CA with our new anti-evil gun law, many of us have simply removed the pistol grip from our AK to essentially turn them into what you are looking for (like a Saiga). It is about an extra inch to reach the trigger so people with small hands may not think it is comfortable, but for me it works great.

There a few models of the SKS that use AK mags.

The Australian Arms M-10 accepts AK mags but it's a bolt gun.

Aside from what's been mentioned.....No! There is a Sig patrol rifle but it has a pistol grip.
