#AmericanAK

Pistol caliber Kalshnikovs are nothing new at all, made in Peshawar and most notably with the Russian Bizon. But it’s the configuration that caught my eye with this gun shop out of Arizona called Kalashnicohn ( Facebook page). They make standard SBRs or “pistols” with under folding stocks, chambered in .45 and 9mm (more calibers to come). But get this, they come with magazine conversion kits so you can use a variety of magazines (Glock, Sten, S&W, H&K). They use a blow back cycle of operations, and can be ordered threaded as well. Personally I’d prefer a side folding 74 stock but regardless, it’s pretty neat. Apparently Red jacket had similar designs on sale, but I don’t believe they did in this variety. This is what the owner has to say about them in a recent email correspondence.

While I was at SHOT Show I stopped by the Century Arms booth and took a look at their new rifle. It’s been five years since Century Arms put their first 100% American made C39 rifle on the market and this year they’re coming out with the C39v2 which they call “the American AK.”
