Kalashnikov USA, manufacturer of Kalashnikov style firearms, announces that the new American Kalashnikov models are now available through Acusport, Big Rock Sports, Bill Hicks, Ellett Brothers, RSR, Sports South and others.
"We have made good on the promise delivered at SHOT Show, to provide our customers with a quality product at a competitive price by the second quarter of this year," Thomas McCrossin, CEO of Kalashnikov USA said.
Under the new banner "Russian Heritage / American Innovation," the new US models are built on the classic AK-47 rifle and shotgun platforms with a focus on designing firearms for the American shooter using the latest manufacturing technologies. New features on the Kalashnikov USA models include a nitrocarburized case hardening on barrels and chambers to extend life and provide a high corrosion resistance. Also, the barrels have been threaded to accept muzzle breaks and suppressor systems. The bolt and bolt carrier have been enhanced for a smoother action, and an integrated hold open feature has been added to the safety lever.
"Our customers will be pleased with the quality of our American weapons and our new designs," Bill Silver, VP of sales for Kalashnikov USA added. "American innovation has provided a better weapon at a better price."
