This PSA AK-101 Classic Redwood offers the look of a Russian 100-series rifle with the convenience of domestic manufacture. Chambered in 5.56 × 45 mm NATO, it pairs a 16-inch gas-nitrided 4150 steel barrel with high-gloss “Russian Red” laminate furniture for a striking, collector-friendly profile. A forged Toolcraft trunnion, bolt, and carrier, plus a 90-degree gas block and pinned two-chamber muzzle brake, make it a durable, ready-to-run clone that stands out on the range or in a collection.

The AK-101 lineage is evident in this rifle’s stamped-steel receiver, matte-black nitride/phosphate finish, and forged Toolcraft internals. The side-mounted optic rail accepts standard AK side-locking mounts, giving users a proven way to add optics without altering the rifle.
The 16-inch barrel is gas-nitrided for extended service life, threaded M24 × 1.5 RH, and capped with a pinned two-chamber 100-series brake that tames recoil while preserving the rifle’s classic silhouette. A 1:7 RH twist rate optimizes performance with common 55- to 77-grain 5.56 ammunition.
Furniture is a matched set of fixed laminate stock, handguard, and pistol grip finished in PSA’s vibrant high-gloss deep-red, evoking the original Russian “Red” style. Length of pull measures a comfortable 13 inches.
Iron sights follow the traditional pattern: a protected post front and an 800-meter-graduated tangent rear leaf. Combined with the included optic rail, the rifle is ready for either heritage or modern sighting solutions.
