Remember Brandon Herrera, more known as the AK Guy? You would probably known him on YouTube with that same name and here on Popular Airsoft as we have written about his famous work, the .50 BMG firing AK-50. He also owns the AK Guy Inc., an FFL-07 licensed firearms manufacturer based in North Carolina.

Now, he has announced the AKG-47, his own production line of AKM rifles that he says is a more affordable line of quality AKs under US$1,000. The AKG-47 is a 7.62x39 AKM that is fully built in the U.S.

The AKG-47 starts life as a new production, virgin Romanian military grade parts kit. It's built on a standard 1mm stamped steel receiver using Russian spec rivets, and fitted with a cold hammer forged Romanian barrel. Once completed, the rifles are Cerakoted by "We Plead the 2nd." Rifles are then inspected for quality control purposes, and come zeroed at 200 yards.

All AKG-47's are hand built, and everyone is personally inspected/test fired by me (Brandon Herrera, the owner) to ensure you get a rifle worthy of the "AK Guy" name.

Quick Specs:

• Romanian Military Parts Kit
• Cold Hammer Forged Barrel
• 7.62x39mm
• Cerakoted "Graphite Black"
• Side-Rail Included
• XTech 30 Round Magazine (1)
• Lifetime Warranty

The US$899 price is with the Romanian furniture, but with if a customer opts for the Russian furniture, the price rises to US$999 which is basically almost US$1,000 territory. It will shop with the standard slant muzzle brake though the photos show with the JMac Customs RRD-4C muzzle brake. As for the magazine that comes along with it, it is the XTech Tactical MAG47 30-round polymer AK magazine that it claims to be the world’s strongest magazine.

Now, would you a licensed airsoft version of this? If yes, why not ask your favourite airsoft manufacturer to get a license from Brandon? It would be cool to have an AK Guy airsoft gun.
