Palmetto State Armory AK-V

This specific version of the AK-V is modified to meet California state regulations. It features a grip fin to prevent the user from wrapping their thumb around the pistol grip and a fixed, non-adjustable stock.

Yes, the AK-V is designed with a last-round bolt hold open feature. This allows the bolt to lock back automatically once the magazine is empty, which helps with faster reloads and confirms the firearm is clear.

Yes, the dust cover is hinged and features an integrated Picatinny rail. This allows you to mount optics securely while maintaining the ability to open the action for cleaning or maintenance without losing your zero.

The barrel features 1/2x28 threading, which is a standard thread pitch for 9mm firearms. This makes it compatible with a wide variety of muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and suppressors.

The blowback-operated system is a simple, reliable design common in pistol-caliber carbines. It provides smooth cycling and consistent performance, though you may notice slightly more felt recoil compared to gas-operated rifles.

The barrel is constructed from 4150 nitrided steel, which is highly regarded for its resistance to heat and corrosion. This material choice ensures a long service life, even with frequent range use.
