No matter where you go or what you do, there’s always someone out there trying to swipe your hard-earned money. We, firearms enthusiasts, are no different from anyone else in this regard. In fact, it seems lately criminals are trying even harder, using the current situation to trick us into thinking we’re getting a deal on a much-wanted firearm. Recently, I found a Kalashnikov USA fraud alert waiting for me and since I know not all of you sign up for their mailing list, I’m going to share it with everyone to get the word out.

Meanwhile, we wanted you to be aware that these scammers exist and be careful when shopping online at kalashnikov-usa.com and in general.
Please follow these steps to ensure you’re placing your order on our authentic website:

1. URL: Our proper website domain is kalashnikov-usa.com.

As you can see, this is serious and Kalashnikov USA is concerned with protecting its customers. If you ever stumble upon what seems to be a manufacturer’s or dealer’s website and it seems kind of sketch check around. Ask about it on the many message boards or discord chats available.
