Kalashnikov USA is not, repeat is not, Kalashnikov Concern. It is a renamed RWC, an importer who decided to take advantage of the ban on Kalashnikov to take the name knowing that they couldn't be sued in the US for copyright infringement as long as the ban is in effect. They are in no way connected to the true Kalashnikov Concern from Russia and this CNN article is misleading on that front. There was an interview with the CEO of Kalashnikov Concern a couple months ago in which he said there could be legal action against Kalshnikov USA if the ban is lifted. So far the only thing that they have produced is a terrible conversion of a "sporterized" Saiga rifle or shotgun back to a standard AK format. If you want true US made AK pattern rifles look at the Century C39 and RAS47, the DDI milled or stamped rifles, or the Definitive Arms DAKM-4150.
