bearhead 2 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've seen the videos for the new school AKs and want one of the AN-94s bad... where can I get one in the U.S.? I haven't had much luck online... I emailed Izhmash and hope they'll respond... is there an importer of the new school AKs like the old school? thanks, Bearhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jpanzer 1,265 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) Try Russia! Seriously, these things are in short supply even over there. I don't even think they HAVE and export a semi-auto model, so your best bet would be to join SPETSNAZ and emigrate to Russia...

Twinsen 86 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Step 1: Wait 25 years. Step 2... no wait it took them 35 to get an AK-74 over here. So then... Step 2: Wait another 10 years. Step 3: Purchase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shandlanos 1,470 Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 Step 1. Turn off caps lock Step 2. Get passport Step 3. Fly to Russia Step 4. Find idiot member of Russian armed forces Step 5. Buy AN-94 from said idiot Step 6. Demill AN-94 per ATF specifications Step 7. Ship demilled AN-94 home Step 8. Try not to feel guilty when aforementioned idiot is executed Step 9. Return home Step 10. Find someone who can make you a custom polymer receiver, barrel and semi-auto trigger group (Did I miss anything?) Step 11. Assemble your AN-94 Step 12. Try to convince yourself that those few tens of thousands of dollars, the personal risk, and the time spent were worth it for a semi-automatic rifle that chambers an inferior cartridge 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Absolutely! I hadn't thought of that. Come to think of it, I wonder what your legal obligations to foreign laws and policies are, if you're a licensed importer. Would the US hold you accountable if, as a duly licensed importer of NFA items, you obtained an AN-94 in Russia in violation of Russian law, and shipped it to your licensed premises in the United States?

Would the US hold you accountable if, as a duly licensed importer of NFA items, you obtained an AN-94 in Russia in violation of Russian law, and shipped it to your licensed premises in the United States? As a licensed importer you still have to get an IMPORT PERMIT for said item, and for that type of item you will need a L.E./MIL letter. That being said there are AN-94 MMGs in Russia. They aren't cheap though and they would still need to be demilled to U.S. spec to be used as "parts kits" for some sort of build. Anyhow...definitely not as easy as one might think.

volkov 318 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 ....or you could just contact the Russian mafia and place your order....... I think that's honestly your best bet.. and that's a bad sign.. I wonder how good the russian mafia is at importing? I used to know some people who knew some people who knew some people that I'd never want to ask for anything.. much less an ileagal weapon, but to be honest when it's that far down the line it's probably all rumors and less credibility anyway. and Azrial that was so terrible it was almost funny.. almost.. ok I grinned a little Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reverendfranz 160 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I think the number of non russians who have touched one, is about 4. The number of non russians to own one, is about 0. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gregomega 929 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 (edited) whoah! Just got sucked into an old thread...... but since ive already commented, personally I think it looks like a vz58 and an SGL got together for a sporter session and crapped this out.

richUK 90 Posted February 15, 2013 Report Share Posted February 15, 2013 Rusmilitary in the UK sell factory deactivated ones from time to time and they have complete mil-spec receivers etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Really? What exactly is a de activated one, converted to semi auto or basically a non firing rifle? Either way probably way more than id spend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 They are deactivated at the factory, basically they are built on the same production line as fully functioning ANs but have a cut bolt,the firing pin channel is welded so a pin cant be fitted, the barrel is plugged and drilled etc.They come with a certificate to say they are factory made but are incapable of firing or being made to fire.There is quite a range available including AK-105's and Bison sub machine guns.But as I said before they usually have full mil-spec receivers and fcg's.

dubya 198 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 So is there any legal way to reactivate one of those without spending more than a grand (plus whatever the rifle costs). i dont really care for the one i use in black ops 2... ill stick with my M4... Lol the AN-94 with the S12 as my backup is actually my favorite class i have on that game. You on ps3 or xbox? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
richUK 90 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 So is there any legal way to reactivate one of those without spending more than a grand (plus whatever the rifle costs). Highly illegal to reactivate any deactivated firearm, atleast it is in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dubya 198 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Good thing im only 25 then, hopefully there will be a civi version in 30 years.... BTW i thought the UK was pretty strict on gun control but you can reactivate deactivated firearms? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JoeAK 337 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I don't really see the point of a civi version of this one, it's big claim to fame is it's two round burst, aside from that, it seems like a bigger, more expensive, and more complicated AK-74.
