CA Compliance:
California compliance
- Status: Legal to own in California.
- Configuration: Featureless, built by WBT: grip fin in place of the pistol grip, stock pinned in a fixed position. The magazine release works normally, so reloads are the same as anywhere else.
- Magazine: Standard detachable, 10-round.
- Your options: If this page shows a compliance selector, choose the build you prefer and we configure it that way. If not, this is the configuration we offer by default; on AR-pattern rifles and some AKs a different build is often possible, so ask us before you order.
- Upgrades: AK-pattern rifles take AK-specific parts only; AR-style grips do not fit, and the MagLock is not an option because an AK receiver does not open to swap the magazine. Rifles that use a standard AK-47 magazine can usually be built with a CompMag instead. The AK options we offer are in California Compliance Upgrades.

About this rifle
Molot VEPR AK-74-11-Side Folder is an AK-pattern rifle chambered in 5.45x39 with a 16.5" barrel and a 10-round capacity. Finish: Black. An AK has a one-piece receiver that does not open like an AR, so the MagLock approach is not available; AKs are built featureless or with a CompMag, as described above.
Manufacturer details
Molot Vepr AK74 5.45x39 Semi Auto Rifle with 16-in Barrel
Built on the same standard as the military RPK, Vepr is 50% more reinforced than a standard, stamped AK rifle. Each rifle has been manufactured using state of the art technology, effectively creating a heavier duty piece that will last through not just a lifetime but for many generations to come. The RPK-style barrels are hammer forged and chrome lined using techniques that make them four to five times stronger than a standard AK barrel, giving the Vepr rifles substantially extended service life over AK type rifles.
