When evaluating modern AK-style pistols for reliable duty use or hard-use range work, look for solid materials, familiar ergonomics, and mounting options that hold up under recoil. The Century Arms RAS47 combines American manufacturing with proven AK mechanics and modern furniture to meet those needs.

CENTURY ARMS RAS47 is an American-designed AK-style pistol built 100 percent in the United States. Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the RAS47 ships with a 30-round magazine and accepts all standard AK magazines. Notable hardware includes a 4140 chromoly stamped receiver and a 4150 chromoly barrel option, Magpul MOE AK pistol grip and handguard, and an AK side scope rail mount designed to be four times as reliable as traditional side mounts.

Design and construction

The RAS47 uses a stamped 4140 chromoly receiver for durable, light manufacturing with an AKM-style tee-shaped magazine catch. Barrel metallurgy is high-grade chromoly with a nitride treatment to improve corrosion resistance and longevity. Ergonomically, Magpul MOE AK furniture improves handling while keeping compatibility with standard AK components. The bolt hold-open safety, stamped receiver, and furniture compatibility make maintenance straightforward for most shooters.

Optics, mounting, and controls

The strengthened AK side scope rail mount is a key upgrade for shooters who want to run optics without the drift or loosening common to legacy mounts. That increased repeatability makes the RAS47 better suited for mounted red dots or budget magnified optics. For more on fit and finish, View product details and pricing.

Caliber and practical use

Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the RAS47 delivers proven terminal performance and widespread ammunition availability. That caliber performs well in short-barrel platforms for close- to mid-range engagements and is a solid choice for defensive use, training, and general plinking. Its compatibility with standard AK magazines and Magpul accessories simplifies logistics for existing AK users.

At a listed price of $1,200.99, the RAS47 targets shooters who want U.S. manufacture, robust steel components, and modern ergonomics. For current stock and purchasing options, Shop this product here.
