KR 9 Rifle-Kalashnikov USA

Atlantic Firearms.com · Jan 6, 2019

We are hoping that the Kalashnikov USA series of KR 9 Rifle s will finally be released to the shooting public this year. Short of the hi cap mag these should be legal in MD / Does anybody see a reason why not ? Kalashnikov USA also offers a pistol model that we will need to have submitted to MSP for approval.

They will also be releasing the KP 9 Pistol chambered in the 9mm round and great for a SB Tactical brace .

Copycat test. If it's got a flash hider and a folding stock, it's banned. If that muzzle device isn't a flash hider, or if it comes with a bare muzzle, or the stock is pinned, it would be fine.

This begs to be a SBR. Fixed.

Yes. Yes it does.

I would just have my FFL remove the "flash suppresor". After it's SBR'd I would get it threaded for 16x1 LH for the proper Vityaz muzzle brake or 1/2x28 if you intend to run a suppressor.

You can't do that, though, because SBRs are still subject to the copycat test. It's still a semi-automatic rifle which accepts detachable magazines, so you can't have it be less than 29" in OAL or have more than one of the "evil features."

SBR'd length is 27.5", you can cut the barrel and thread it at 29.1" or pin and weld the muzzle brake. Just don't put a flash hider on it.

How hard would it be to cut this barrel back for a Form 1 SBR project? Would a Smith need to remove the barrel? The barrel would need to be cut back to 10.25" or 10.5" with pinned muzzle device. It would still look pretty damn good IMO. The benefit is, as a rifle you can buy it over the counter no HQL needed. Pistol or rifle...........hmmmm, that is the question.

A smith should be able to cut and re-crown the barrel and add threading without removing it.

If you get the pistol and SBR it, you would need to obtain the Vityaz folding stock, it is specific to this design, the latch is on the front trunnion as opposed to the rear trunnion on the AK 100 series rifles (AKS-74, AK-74M), etc.).

Also the pistol still needs to be submitted to the roster, if you want it ASAP the rifle is gtg.

The KP 9 pistol has already started the submital paperwork for the Handgun list

Saml · Jan 29, 2019

Awesome. Is there a specific thread or site to watch for announcements on what/when anything is accepted to the roster? Really excited for this as well

Jimbob2.0 · Feb 8, 2019

How long before we see carbines?

tffrost · May 8, 2019

Guys, any update on the status of the KP9? I don't see it on the approved roster yet.

Jimbob2.0 · May 13, 2019

Ive seen the carbines for sale lately I might just have to have one.

Confused about mags - are they proprietary to the platform?

I heard they interchange with Skorpion but they don't look right. My bet is proprietary. Guess that means you stock up when you buy but they don't look cheap.
