Description

California-compliant semi-automatic rifle based on the legendary AK-47 platform. The Century Arms VSKA is 100% American-made and delivers the reliability AK enthusiasts demand at a price that won’t break the bank. Available now at California Gun Shop for $949.99 — ships to your licensed FFL dealer.

California Compliance Note: The VSKA is available in featureless configuration for California compliance. Consult your FFL dealer regarding current California AWB requirements before purchasing. Pistol grip, thumbhole stock, and folding/telescoping stock configurations may require compliance modifications per California Penal Code § 30515.

Why the VSKA?

While full-auto AK variants are permanently out of reach for most civilian buyers, the Century Arms VSKA delivers everything you love about the AK platform in a legal, semi-automatic package. Built entirely in the USA with S7 tool steel internals, a chrome-moly 4150 barrel, and the RAK-1 Enhanced Trigger Group, this is not a budget clone — it’s a purpose-built American rifle engineered to outperform the originals.

Key Features

• S7 Tool Steel Internals: Bolt carrier, front trunnion, and feed ramp machined from S7 tool steel — maximum shock resistance and compression strength
• Chrome-Moly 4150 Barrel: 16.5″ barrel with manganese-phosphate finish for corrosion resistance and long service life
• RAK-1 Enhanced Trigger Group: Dramatically improved trigger pull over standard AK designs — crisp, consistent break
• 100% American-Made: Built in Granby, Vermont from US-sourced components — no import restrictions or compliance concerns
• Magazine Compatibility: Accepts standard AK-pattern 7.62x39mm magazines (CA-legal fixed magazine required for CA buyers)

Specifications

The AK Platform for Modern Shooters

The 7.62x39mm cartridge remains one of the most capable intermediate rifle rounds ever developed — hard-hitting, reliable in adverse conditions, and widely available at competitive prices. The VSKA chambers this round in a platform that has proven itself across millions of cycles. Whether you’re building practical skills at the range, hunting deer-sized game in close cover, or looking for a reliable property defense rifle, the VSKA delivers.

The S7 tool steel components are the headline feature — this is the same grade of steel used in industrial tooling applications where shock resistance is paramount. The result is a bolt carrier and trunnion that will outlast multiple barrels without showing fatigue. Pair that with a chrome-lined bore option for maximum longevity and you have a rifle built to serve for decades.
