Meridian Defense Kalakov R AKM | Silencer Shop Exclusive

The Meridian Defense Kalakov R AKM | Silencer Shop Exclusive is a semi-automatic 7.62x39mm AK103-pattern rifle that combines traditional AK styling with modern manufacturing enhancements. This exclusive configuration features U.S.-made hammer-forged internal components, a cold hammer-forged chrome-lined barrel, and chrome-lined critical components—including the muzzle brake, front sight block, and 90-degree gas block—for enhanced durability and long-term reliability. The rifle is equipped with 24x1.5mm right-hand muzzle threads, a gas system optimized for suppressed use, and a side-mounted optics rail for compatibility with a variety of AK optics and mounting solutions.

Finished with a light battle-worn appearance, the Kalakov R includes Soviet-era Russian-style laminate wood furniture with an individually numbered buttstock (1–50), a KNS Precision adjustable rear sight, and a KNS Precision .034-inch match front sight post for refined sight adjustment. This Silencer Shop Exclusive package also includes three magazines with matching battle-worn finish, making it well suited for collectors, enthusiasts, and shooters looking for a modern AK platform with classic styling.
