Riley Defense RAK201SF | AK-74 Side-Folder 5.45×39 16.25in

This Riley Defense RAK201SF is an American-made AK-74 pattern rifle chambered in 5.45 x 39 mm with a 16.25 inch barrel and a metal side-folding triangular stock fitted alongside stained teak upper and lower handguards. The rifle ships with a 30-round magazine and uses a semi-automatic, closed-bolt action with forged trunnion, bolt, and carrier for serviceable durability. For a versatile optic under $1,000 that pairs well with the platform for short- to mid-range work, consider a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-6×24 to cover both close and extended sighting needs. Typical uses for this rifle include range training and field shooting.
