New York’s firearms laws demand careful selection when choosing a rifle for legal home defense and compliant ownership. For shooters seeking the durability and handling of an AKM-pattern rifle while meeting New York compliance requirements, this model offers a practical path that blends traditional design with state-legal features.

PALMETTO STATE ARMORY PSAK47 GF3-R

Design and NY compliance

The PALMETTO STATE ARMORY PSAK47 GF3-R is an AKM / AK-47 pattern rifle configured specifically to meet New York restrictions. Notable in the build is a fixed 10-round magazine (non-detachable), which preserves the AK silhouette and function while staying within compliant magazine limits. The rifle ships with a “dong” style foregrip and an included sling—features that aid control and retention without altering the non-detachable magazine configuration. The listing notes the firearm was obtained from another FFL and has only been stored at that FFL; it may have had a manufacturer test fire but has never been privately owned.

Features and field utility

Rugged AKM platform

The AKM pattern is celebrated for simplicity and reliability. Even with a fixed magazine, the PSAK47 GF3-R retains the long-stroke gas piston system and controls familiar to AK users, making it intuitive for owners trained on similar platforms. The “dong” foregrip provides a positive handhold for close-quarters handling, and the included sling supports retention during movement and transitions.

Condition and purchasing notes

While the rifle is described as brand new, the listing explains there is no UPC for a compliant-specific model, so it could not be labeled “New” in the inventory system. Buyers should note the firearm’s history—stored at a previous FFL and possibly test-fired by the manufacturer—and confirm barrel caliber and other specifications with the retailer prior to purchase.

The price listed for this configuration is $1275.99, reflecting the AK-pattern build and compliance configuration. View product details and pricing for full purchasing options.

For anyone in New York or other states with magazine restrictions, the PALMETTO STATE ARMORY PSAK47 GF3-R presents a practical AKM-pattern option that balances legal compliance with the proven ergonomics and reliability of the platform.
