The rifles themselves are quality. They have a milled receiver which will add weight. The barrel is already threaded and has a flash hider on it. Not to be confused with a suppressor which is a NFA item and you'll need a tax stamp IF your state allows.

It's is Arsenal Bulgarian made.

I'm a AK nut but these pistols are gimmicky. You can use the brace to shoulder but you cannot modify it in any way shape or form. You cannot make it longer or insert something inside, where your forearm should be, to give more surface area. If you do you have made an illegal short barreled rife and can face a 10 year prison term. Only legal way to shoulder it is to have it exactly the way it came from the factory.

They go for about a G. Save yourself some money and a little weight and get a Yugoslav PAP AK pistol. It has a stamped receiver but no chrome lining.

When I go camping I carry a AK or a VZ58. But i go for a few days. If you're just going on a walk/hike in the woods for a few hours you'll probably be better off with the Glock
