The modern AK platform has evolved beyond its battlefield roots into a versatile set of configurations for sport, duty, and personal defense. For shooters who want a compact, American-made AK-style pistol that keeps proven AK ergonomics and magazine compatibility, the right choice needs solid materials, reliable controls, and a mounting system that supports optics without wobble.
CENTURY ARMS RAS47 is an American-designed AK-style pistol built 100 percent in the United States. It pairs a 4140 chromoly steel receiver with a 4150 chromoly steel barrel, and ships with a 30-round magazine while accepting all standard AK magazines. The RAS47 includes a reinforced AK side scope rail mount that the manufacturer rates as four times more reliable than traditional side mounts, plus Magpul MOE AK pistol grip and handguard for modern ergonomics. 
Design and key features
The RAS47 uses a stamped 4140 chromoly receiver and a chrome-moly nitride treated barrel for wear resistance. Features listed in the product details include a larger tee-shaped magazine catch, AKM furniture compatibility, a bolt hold-open safety, and Magpul MOE furniture for improved control and comfort under recoil. The reinforced side scope rail and compatible mounting hardware eliminate the common flex and zero shift seen on older side-mounted solutions.
Configuration notes and price
Specifications in the product description reference both a 10.6″ barrel configuration and an alternate listing showing a 16.5″ barrel with a 1:11″ twist; check the product page for the exact configuration available. The RAS47 is offered at $1,200.99, and you can View product details and pricing on the shop page.
Caliber, magazines, and practical application
Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the RAS47 delivers proven terminal performance, good barrier penetration, and affordable ammo options for training. The pistol accepts standard AK magazines, giving shooters flexible magazine sourcing and the option to use common 30-round magazines for extended practice. With an overall weight around 7.8 lbs (per the full spec block) the platform balances controllability with durability for range use, informal competition, or compact duty roles.
