Sometimes the Internet is very amazing thing. There so many gun interested people on the Internet from any country of the world. I don't know any other domain, where people are talking to each other so freely, never minding about anything like the country they are coming from. Ar15.com is a very important source of knowledge and exange of points of view.

I hate the way politicians try to drive a wedge between peoples, but at least we have ways to communicate about shared interests regardless! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Very interesting! If only the sanctions weren't in place. A Russian-made AR would be incredibly cool to have, especially with a Molot barrel. I have some Veprs from before the sanctions with the RPK-type (though 16"/40cm) heavy barrel and that thing is a tank! Molot makes some of the best barrels in the world, and I'd love to have an AR one. As an AK fan, I'm drooling over that AKM. If you could sell that in the United States it would put quite a bit of money in your pocket. Even Russian AKM kits built here on US receivers with inferior US AK barrels go for many thousands of dollars. I have a SGL-21 (Izmash Saiga converted by Arsenal Inc to be basically a semi auto AK103) and the aforementioned Molot Vepr FMs, and I'm spoiled because no other country's AKs I've owned, shot, or handled were anywhere near the level of quality of the Russian ones, though the Bulgarian Arsenal AKs come close. I just wish we could get more. Americans can't make 100% US AKs anywhere near the quality of the imports from Russia and Bulgaria. On the other hand, it looks like Russians have figured out how to make the AR just fine! It'd be so cool to have a Russian AR15. So before the sanctions, were there ARs imported to Russia from the US? One post above sounded like that might've been the case. If so, what brands were imported over there? There were some Colts, SDI's, Bushmasters. Not a whole lot, since at the time AR's were even less known and not in high demand. You can still get pretty much any US made rifle in Russia, including POF, Barrett (yea, even .50 BMG), but they are being imported through complicated channels and the cost is often prohibitive. But we've been getting some basic Savages and Colts in at about 2,5x the US MSRP recently. https://test-guns.ru/product-category/oruzhie/nareznoe-oruzhie/ |

Is it standard to have matching serial numbers for the upper and lower receiver? Higher end companies here will keep matching receivers together sometimes but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an upper serialized.
Did you buy these as complete rifles or did you build them? If they were complete it’s interesting that they borrow from different companies and countries like that. |

If they were complete it’s interesting that they borrow from different companies and countries like that. It is standard, but also kind of unnecessary. Neither the lower receiver or the upper receiver is a controlled part on a rifle like this in Russia. Just the barrel and the bolt (not bolt carrier) are. On an AK and other guns the receiver is a controlled part as well. It has to do with the law largely being based around AK-type rifles, where the receiver is actively involved in lockup. AR Lowers are definitely sold freely in Russia with no issues. You can buy a fancy one off Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CH0Iy5gruyN/  More stuff by this guy, some of which US customers could actually legally purchase: https://www.instagram.com/gladman.guns/ They were both sold as complete rifles. I changed charging handles, triggers, safety selectors, stocks, grips, trigger guards, endplates and the handguard on the second rifle, but that's it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it standard to have matching serial numbers for the upper and lower receiver? I always figured it was for the same reason that pistols made in Europe have to have the slide, barrel, and frame serialized even though in the US it's just the frame that requires it, but its interesting to learn that that's not the case. |

Thank you for sharing all of this. If you have other photos, experiene and comments about Russian guns, I'd love to see what you have. And your English is every bit as good as the majority of Americans and better in many cases. I can't imagine how difficult it would be to learn Russian as good as your English is.  |

Semi-auto is allowed, but full-auto is only allowed for blank-firing rifles, which these aren't. Civilian firearms are defined as having a magazine of no more than 10 rounds, but the mags themselves are not regulated, sold openly and no one cares if you use standard or high-cap mags at the range. There's a firearm registration regime in place. The permit for a shotgun is easy to get though. Just need to be 18, not be a registered addict (and make it through an instant urine drug test) or have certain mental disorders that the state knows about. Also, you have to go through nominal training of like 3 hours of lecture and an easy 10-point quiz at the end. Repeat every 5 years. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What about handgun ownership? How's that work? No handguns, other that rubber-bullet-only ones with built-in barrel obstructions so as not to allow a hard object to go through. Also called "trauma pistols" in Russia. They suck, and the ammo for them that is sold is mandated to be no more powerful than 91 Joules.  Only way for an individual to get a proper handgun to own is to be "rewarded" by the state. Like with a medal or something, and a handgun may come with that. There's only 17000 people like that in the whole country. |

Yea, you're supposed to keep these home in a safe. A safe is defined at a minimum as a box with metal plates fixed onto it. So the requirements are very nominal. A policeman was supposed to come check out the storage conditions once every year (now every 5 years), but that rarely actually happens, since the type of cops tasked with this have a lot of other work to do. So you end up just sending them pictures of the safe, and they sign off on the form saying you've been checked. These forms were required once a year for a new gun purchase. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Saw some suppressors for sale on one of the Instagram post. What are the rules regarding suppressors? Suppressors are banned for civilian ownership and sale. So the solution is just to not call them suppressors. One popular definiton is a "closed-type muzzle brake", another a "sound moderator". That way they're sold freely like any other non-licensed gun-related part. They function more or less as actual suppressors, but not all of them are highly effective, since it's a gray area and some companies don't want too much attention from the state for their products wrecking the supposed intent of the law too openly. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What are the Russian laws on muzzleloading firearms that use separate flint/cap, powder, and lead ball to shoot. Not original antiques but modern made replica's generally from Italy(ie Pedersoli and Uberti) of the 1750 - 1860 era? Such as this? https://www.davide-pedersoli.com/storage/app/uploads/public/5fa/017/ba9/5fa017ba9c49a893816990.jpeg Don't know much about these, but I believe you only need to be 18 and don't need a license to buy muzzleloaders in Russia. You still won't be able to buy powder without a shotgun licence though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How do IPSC clubs work in Russia today. Are you able to keep a pistol at the club? There's a lot of people shooting IPSC-type matches with pistols as well as shotguns and rifles. Many more with pistols, actually. For that you don't need a license. Either rent guns from a range, or have a range buy a pistol that only you get to use. Don't know what the deal is currenly with transferring guns from range to range and taking them to matches. I imagine it's a bit of a pain in the ass. |

Can someone who wasn't born in Russia able to own rifles and shotguns, after becoming a citizen of course, or can only Russian born citizens own firearms? |
