Rifle Dynamics

Rifle Dynamics is a specialist in custom AK and ComBloc style rifles, known for turning proven Kalashnikov platforms into refined, hard running fighting tools. Based in the Las Vegas area, the company focuses on rifles and pistols that keep the soul of the AK intact while improving handling, accuracy, and support for modern accessories. From production RD 700 series carbines to compact Quickhatch and RD 704 pistols, Rifle Dynamics builds for shooters who want a serious AK that is tuned, balanced, and ready for work on day one.

AK Accuracy And Handling

Rifle Dynamics approaches the AK as a working rifle that can be refined without losing its reliability. Each build is set up for fast sight acquisition, predictable recoil, and clean trigger breaks that help shooters keep rounds on target in rapid strings. Their front end work, tunable gas systems, and sighting solutions give the classic AK layout a more neutral balance and smoother tracking, which translates to tighter practical groups at realistic engagement distances.

Versatile AK Platforms

The lineup covers 7.62x39, 5.56x45, and 5.45x39 builds, from full length carbines to compact pistols and SBRs. Rifle Dynamics offers both built to order rifles and ready to go models, along with upgrade packages for popular imports such as WASR, Arsenal, Kalashnikov USA, and PSA platforms. The result is a family of AKs and AK based pistols that can be tailored for range work, training, defensive roles, or professional carry, all with controls and ergonomics tuned for serious use.

Hard Use AK Durability

Every build is treated as a hard use rifle. Rifle Dynamics focuses on correct geometry, quality barrels, and proven components, then backs that up with detailed assembly and inspection. AKs are chosen for dependability, and the company’s goal is to keep that core strength in place while adding longevity through proper riveting, careful headspacing, and attention to gas port sizing. Many models include features that support suppressed use and varied ammunition, helping the rifles stay reliable across changing conditions.

Product Focus

Rifles

Rifle Dynamics rifles are built for shooters who want an AK that feels as refined as a modern carbine. RD 700 series and Mk.II models in 7.62x39 and 5.56x45 use pinned 14.5 inch barrels, tuned gas systems, and upgraded furniture to create rifles that balance at the front hand and drive quickly between targets. RD 74 style builds in 5.45x39 follow the AK 74 pattern and provide the lighter recoil that caliber is known for, but with the same careful assembly and front end work seen on custom guns. Production rifles are offered in both stamped and milled receiver variants, and many models ship with premium cases and are configured from the start with modern muzzle devices, optics mounting solutions, and sling options. For owners who already have an import rifle, upgrade packages can bring a WASR, Arsenal, Kalashnikov USA or PSA rifle up to Rifle Dynamics production specifications, including the same front end treatment, compliance work, and reliability checks that new builds receive.

Pistols

Rifle Dynamics pistols carry the same build quality into compact, maneuverable platforms. Models such as the Quickhatch PDW and RD 604 pistols pair short barrels with 1913 style rear trunnions, ready for braces or stock conversion where legally allowed. Tunable front sight and gas block combinations, along with carefully chosen muzzle devices, help manage recoil and blast so these short AKs stay controllable at speed. These pistols are aimed at shooters who want a compact AK pattern tool for close range work, training in confined spaces, or future SBR projects. Attention to weight distribution, trigger feel, and sight height gives them a more refined character than typical kit builds, while still maintaining the reliability that draws shooters to the AK platform in the first place.

AK Upgrade Services And Parts

Beyond complete rifles and pistols, Rifle Dynamics is known for its AK upgrade work and parts support. Services include WASR, Arsenal, Kalashnikov USA, and Palmetto State Armory upgrade packages that convert customer supplied rifles into full Rifle Dynamics specification builds with the same fitting, front end work, and internal tuning used on their production guns. The company also offers builder receivers, tunable front sight and gas block combinations, muzzle devices, furniture, and internal parts aimed at shooters who want to assemble or refine their own rifles with trusted components. For owners who prefer a hands on approach, AK kit build classes give students a chance to build an AK under guidance, leaving with a complete Rifle Dynamics firearm and a better understanding of the platform.
