Century Arms VSKA Russian Red 7.62x39 Semi-Automatic AKM Rifle – 16.25" Threaded Barrel, U.S.-Made
The VSKA Russian Red brings Century Arms’ 100% U.S.-made AKM platform together with classic Soviet-style hardwood furniture. A billet S7 tool-steel trunnion, bolt, and bolt carrier give this rifle a durability edge, while the vibrant Russian Red maple stock and handguard set it apart visually. Modern touches like a hinged full-length Picatinny top cover and RAK-1 enhanced trigger make it a practical choice for shooters who appreciate both heritage and performance.

Built on a stamped steel receiver finished in manganese-phosphate black, the VSKA series is engineered for long service life. The forged bolt carrier, bolt, and trunnion are machined from S7 tool steel—an impact-resistant alloy chosen for its toughness under heavy use.
Russian Red American maple furniture gives this rifle a classic look while retaining modern ergonomics. The 13.0" length of pull and US Palm polymer pistol grip provide a comfortable, familiar feel for most shooters.
The 16.25" 4150 chrome-moly barrel is threaded 14x1 LH and shipped with a chevron-profile muzzle brake. Coupled with a 1:10 twist rate, it delivers reliable accuracy with standard 7.62x39 loads.
A hinged, full-length Picatinny dust cover offers a rigid mounting surface for optics, while integral side rails provide an additional optics option. The enhanced safety lever features a bolt-hold-open notch for faster reloads, and the single-stage RAK-1 trigger breaks at roughly 5 lb for a clean, predictable pull.
