Opinion - The RAS 47 is a touted 100% American made rifle. Almost all pieces on the RAS 47 are proprietary. The materials used to build the RAS 47 are not to AKM spec. There are multiple documented cases of this gun having out of battery detonations and other failures. This is due to the horrid casting done for the trunnion, which was designed to be a forged part.

Shoot one, and by that, I mean use it as the target.
