California-Compliant 7.62x39mm AK-Style Rifle
The Riley Defense Krink Can CA Compliant model is engineered specifically for shooters in restrictive states who still want a classic AK-pattern platform:
Chambered in 7.62x39mm – The legendary intermediate cartridge known for its punch, availability, and historic roots.
10+1 capacity – Compliant capacity paired with reliable feeding for training, plinking, and range time.
Feature set tailored for CA compliance – Including a fixed stock and pinned faux can to meet length and configuration requirements, while preserving the Krink aesthetic.
This rifle gives you the look and feel of a Krink-style build without the guesswork of putting together a compliant configuration on your own.
8.50" Black Nitride Threaded Barrel with Pinned Faux Can
At the heart of this rifle is a 16"-class overall muzzle assembly built around an 8.50" threaded barrel:
8.50" barrel length – Compact and responsive, designed for a fast-handling rifle that still offers practical downrange performance.
Black nitride finish – Increases surface hardness and corrosion resistance, while offering a smooth, low-glare, deep-black appearance.
Threaded muzzle with pinned faux can – Delivers the iconic “Krink Can” profile and extended muzzle length while remaining solidly fixed and compliant.
The pinned faux can gives this rifle the unmistakable silhouette of a classic Krink-style muzzle device, but without the complexity of removable muzzle attachments.
Fixed Black Metal Stock for Stability & Compliance
Instead of a folding or adjustable stock, the Riley Defense Krink Can CA Compliant uses a fixed black metal stock:
Rigid, durable construction – Provides a solid shoulder weld and consistent cheek placement.
Compliance-friendly configuration – Fixed design tailored for states that regulate adjustable or folding stocks.
Compact profile – Balances well with the short barrel and pinned can for a tidy, maneuverable overall package.
The result is a sturdy, no-nonsense stock that keeps things simple and robust, while maintaining the classic AK lineage.
Black Polymer Furniture – Rugged and Practical
Riley Defense pairs the steel core of this rifle with black polymer furniture for durability and comfort:
Polymer handguard – Designed to be tough, impact-resistant, and less susceptible to weather than traditional wood.
Ergonomic grip area – Helps maintain control through shot strings and drills.
All-black finish – Gives the rifle a unified, modern tactical look that fits well in any collection or on any range line.
The combination of metal and polymer creates a rifle that’s both visually striking and ready to work, without unnecessary weight.
Semi-Auto AK-Pattern Reliability
Built on a proven AK-style design, the Krink Can CA Compliant model is made for reliable cycling and long service life when properly maintained:
AK-pattern operating system – Known for robustness and tolerance to varied conditions when used and maintained responsibly.
Designed around common 7.62x39mm ammunition – So you can enjoy training with widely available loads (always follow manufacturer’s ammo guidelines).
10-round configuration – Ideal for states with capacity limits and for focused training and fundamentals work.
This rifle is well suited for shooters who appreciate the heritage of the AK platform and want a modern, compliant version that feels familiar in hand.

Range use and recreational shooting – Enjoying the classic 7.62x39 experience with a compact, Krink-style rifle.
