This rifle is Riley Defense's version of the classic AK-47 rifle in semi automatic mode. Chambered in 7.62x39 caliber each of the rifles is custom hand built and finished and the attention to detail shows. The bolt is a machines forging. The trunion is riveted and then barrel is installed. The alloy used is 4140 chrome moly steel. Each rifle comes complete with one 30 round mag and includes an integrated scope rail. Rifles accept all high cap mags and drums. Each rifle comes with scope mount rail on the left side of the receiver, an extend mag release, and a bolt hold open safety. Comes with 1-30 rd magazine . It measures 35.25” in overall length. Rifle carries a 2 year warranty from Riley Defense.
A note about the metal finish.-These rifles feature a true dark black really smooth and consistent gun metal blued finish on all of their metal surfaces. The camera we have does not do it justice but Riley has achieved one of the nicer finishes in the industry on these rifles. Nice rivet work too with rivets being seated properly with no distortion.
Really good attention to detail. I think you will really like these rifles.

Thread on this over on akfiles, concensus is I.O. switched names again to try and sucker some more people into buying their garbage. Someone even looked up names and last name of owner/operator is the same as the I.O. guy.

I wouldn't chance it, too many other great choices out there.

Quoted:I took a look at only one of the rifles on their website here is what I notice



strange crease marks on the rsb,  T guard metal and mag catch look paper thin.  If you notice the mag catch doesn't engage the magazine.   Odd coloration on the gas tube?  looks like someone missed a few times pinning the fsb.

I checked the other rifles, all the mag catches have a large gap in their engagement.  This will cause a failure to feed if there is any downward play in the seating of the magazine..

Riley Defense is a new up start . We have been aware of their project for over a year just received a sample gun in for review and testing .We have been slammed with last minute California orders and not had time to take her to the range yet . We will post some detailed pics in the near future .

I'd run far and fast from these builds.  If the pictures below are from what they are using to showcase their work, I can only imagine what the average buyer will be receiving.

Yep, take a look at the front trunnions too, they're purply for some reason, not sure wtf that's about.

Likely anodizing

I'd hope they wouldn't be using aluminum for the front trunnion.
