A new AK has entered the US market, the Red Star Ordnance BSR47 - a Bulgarian AKM-pattern rifle chambered in 7.62x39 that's exclusive to Classic Firearms. These rifles are made in Bulgaria by ISD Bulgaria and imported into the US by Red Star Ordnance. Built on a rugged 1mm stamped receiver with forged trunnions and featuring a 16.3\" hammer-forged barrel with a tough blued finish, the BSR47 pairs authentic Eastern-bloc durability with modern touches: eye-catching Red Star Red Wood furniture, with standard adjustable sights for fast zeroing, and a reliable 30-round Magpul PMAG for immediate dependability. Whether you're a collector chasing an exclusive release or a shooter who values proven AKM simplicity with upgraded ergonomics, the BSR47 delivers form, function, and exclusivity - available only at Classic Firearms. NOTE: Also the barrel is threaded 14x1 LH but there is a thread protector that has been tack welded as can be seen in the image. This tack weld can be broken and the muzzle nut can easily be removed and replaced with a compliant muzzle break if so desired.
