These qualities give the rifle an entirely new feel when shooting and on the move. The RD 700 AK’s barrel length is shortened, and the flash suppressor is permanently pinned to the barrel. The Bolten gas block combines the front sight and gas block into one unit. The RD 700 AKs all benefit from a custom front end consisting of a Bolten gas block offered by Venom Tactical. Fernando’s Fuller AK rifle is chambered in 7.62x39mm and utilizes the RD AK/M4 stock adapter and the Magpul CTR rear stock.

Jim explains, “We are doing four different production rifles based off the imported sporterized Saiga at this time. These AK-47s will benefit from Jim’s years of experience improving and customizing his customers’ rifles. However, with so many customers responding to Jim’s idea for a solid, no-frills AK fighting rifle, Jim decided to invest in putting one into production.

Jim found himself impressed with the AK-47 early on. Jim Fuller’s Rifle Dynamics (RD) is one of the premier AK gunsmithing companies in the U.S., one of the few that is truly qualified to improve the AK platform beyond its out-of-the-box potential, without diminishing its hell-and-back reliability, simplicity and ruggedness.
