The $600 Option that Works: Riley Defense AK
This video reviews the Riley Defense RAK47, an AK variant priced around $600. The reviewer challenges AK elitism, arguing that affordable, domestically produced AKs can offer good value. The review covers the RAK47's break-in period, notes improvements from previous generations (specifically mentioning forged trunions), and assesses its performance in testing, highlighting its speed, reliability, and accuracy out of the box. The reviewer also touches on surprising quality in areas like stock, finish, and sights, and compares it implicitly to pricier imported AKs and AR-15s. The video also mentions a separate review of the Palmetto PSAK-47 and thanks a local gun store for their support.
