Draco Guns: The AK 47 You Need

March 23, 2022 | 0 Comments

The Legendary Draco Pistol

There’s no debate: the utility of the AK-47 is unmatched by anything else. This is a powerful firearm that has no equal. The only thing that comes close is the Draco pistol. Rather than go over the list of pros and cons for a pistol like this, we figured we’d just discuss what makes Draco so great. You can decide for yourself if it’s something you want to add to your collection. If your answer is to bring one of these bad boys home, then let GrabAGun help. We are the premier online gun store for all of your needs. Easily find bulk 9mm ammo, a Mossberg 590, Glock handguns for sale, and more on our site right now. So, what’s so special about a Draco gun from GrabAGun? Let’s take a look.

Some Backstory…

Without a doubt, the AK-47 is probably one of the most iconic and most manufactured weapons in history. The unique curved magazine and grip are easily recognized all over the world. The name itself, AK-47, originated from the Russian “Automat Kalashnikova” and is meant to honor the main designer of the firearm, Mikhail Kalashnikov as well as the automatic firing abilities. 47 denotes the year, 1947, when the trials for the rifle began–the same time when it was approved for use by the armed forces of the Soviet Union.

The AK-47 is indeed the most successful as well as the most popular assault rifle in history. There, truly, is no comparison in terms of the number of guns manufactured, worldwide deployment of the weapon, or service duration. Now it’s important to note, the AK-47 is not a completely original design. It’s actually a combination of design concepts from several pre-existing weapons. The gas-driven mechanism, the trigger system, rotating bolt, and safety catch were all borrowed from other weapons. Separately, these were fine features but merged together? You get the AK-47 in all its glory.

The result was the mass production of an extremely lightweight firearm that had moderate recoil, durability, a rugged design, and never before seen low production costs. The accuracy of the rifle was secondary to the power and ability to deliver firepower in an effective manner. All this and more make the AK-47 unlike any other rifle produced before.

Draco Gun Features

Less than a century later, the AK-47 is still one of the most iconic firearms out there. While you obviously can no longer purchase a fully automatic firearm in the states, you can get your hands on some incredible variations, like the Draco pistol. Century Arms currently imports it into the States and even began producing the gun themselves in 2017. This isn’t a range or hunting gun–it’s a close-quarters firearm. Today, you can find four very different, yet very effective firearms, all of which are available at GrabAGun.

The Draco Pistol

The original DRACO Pistol is built in Romania. This full-sized pistol is chambered in 7.62x39mm and is designed for sporting use. The design inspiration comes from the original, famous AK-47, of course. Features include double locking lugs, an unlocking raceway, and a trigger mechanism that is clearly derived from the American M1 Garand Rifle. This compact package is also equipped with an Enhanced Trigger Group, a threaded barrel to attach your desired muzzle device (which you’ll want and need), and standard-style AK sights. It also features a stamped steel receiver, polymer pistol grip, and a wooden forearm. Maneuverability is increased with the 12.25-inch hard chrome-lined, hammer-forged barrel with a 1:10” twist. It comes with one 30-round magazine but does accept all AK magazines. Versatility is a must so this is a feature that’s across the board. This is a no-nonsense, built to perform little devil. The compact size allows you to store it in a backpack, truck safe, or anywhere you simply need raw power.

The Draco Mini

Just like the full-sized version, the Mini Draco pistol is based on the AK-47 rifle. This version, though, is ideal for very specific purposes like residential or close-combat, personal defense. As you can imagine, this is smaller than the full-sized pistol, though even with a 7.5-inch barrel, it still packs a mighty punch in such a small frame. It features integral front sights on the barrel as well as a gas tube. There’s a muzzle-nut, wood fore stock, plastic pistol grip, and one magazine chambered in 7.62x39mm. The barrel is threaded allowing for preferred muzzle device attachments as needed. If the Mini Draco pistol sounds good to you, GrabAGun has you covered!

The Draco Micro

The smallest of the bunch, but don’t be fooled by its size; the Micro Draco is just as powerful as its predecessors–including the AK 47. Featuring a 6.25-inch barrel, the Micro is a tiny but mighty pistol. There really is not much to it. It comes equipped with a polymer pistol grip, a lever safety, and a stamped steel receiver. The handguard is made from premium wood which can be laminated or standard wood. Like all other Draco firearms, this accepts AK magazines with no issue whatsoever. What else is there to say? The Micro Draco is powerful, reliable, and durable–all the things you want and need out of a personal defense gun for sale.

The Draco VSKA

The latest heavy-duty AK pistol from Century Arms is the VSKA Draco. Featuring an all-new bolt carrier, front trunnion, and feed ramp machined from S7 tool steel, that is specially heat-treated for maximum durability, this is one you won’t want to miss out on. S7 is often referred to as a “Shock-Resisting Tool Steel” and is commonly used for tools like chisels and jackhammer tips. In short, it’s the perfect material for a Draco pistol. Additional features include a carburized 4140 steel bolt, a chrome-moly 4150 10.5-inch barrel, and the RAK-1 Enhanced Trigger Group for an impressive trigger pull. And we can’t forget the American Maple Wood handguard, giving it that classic Draco look.

The Draco NAK-9

Where the Draco takes a turn is with the Draco NAK-9. Not only in looks, but in caliber as well. The NAK-9 is built in Romania and chambered for 9mm Luger. Unlike its counterparts, this features a Picatinny rail on the hinged dust cover, offering the chance to add any optics your of choice. Since it’s chambered in 9mm, it accepts Glock 17 and 19 style magazines, on top of the 33-round magazine it comes with, so there’s still plenty of room for versatility. It also comes with standard AK Sights, 1/2×28 threaded barrel, wood forend, and a rear sling mount. True to its legacy, the NAK-9 is built to outperform anything it comes up against.

GrabAGun and the Draco Pistol

If the durability and ruggedness of the Draco gun didn’t sell you, then the price point likely will. One of the main reasons this is, still, such a beloved classic is because of how affordable it is. Especially when compared with the AR 15 guns for sale. GrabAGun not only has the best prices for an online gun store, but we also have the best selection of firearms for your needs. We carry brands like Ruger, Zastava, American Tactical Imports, and many, many more. Find the Draco gun you want at GrabAGun today.

The Next Generation: AK-47

June 16, 2014 | 0 Comments

In 20 10, a new generation of the venerable AK-47 for sale was introduced with the AK-200. The AK-200 is gas operated with a rotating bolt firing action chambered to fire the 5.45×39mm, 5.56×45mm NATO, and 7.62×39mm cartridges from detachable box magazines, a casket magazine or the RPK-74 styled drum magazine. It was designed to accommodate the addition of a Picatinny rail.

By 2013 the AK-12 (formerly the AK-200) was developed with a rail for optics, and available with a wider range of calibers to include a 6.5mm still under development, a 6.5 Grendel and 7.62×51mm NATO.

The replacement of the wooden furniture reduces the weight to just over 7 pounds. The addition of rails enables the attachment of scopes, lights and other accessories. Greater accuracy would be an improvement, but the typical AK was never intended to be a long range weapon. I have seen pre-bans with the slider to automatic routinely produced 2 inch groupings. Accuracy with a gun is similar to driving a car in one respect – some cars are harder to steer, but it is still up to the driver to keep it between the lines.

However, accuracy isn’t what made the AK-47 so popular. Rather, it is the fact it is so easy to use, easy to repair and its reliability in even extreme conditions. The windy, dry sandy conditions of the Middle East and the massive number of AK-47s used in the region are a testament to the guns durability.

Another reason for the AK-47s popularity is price, while the milled gun will cost more due to the hundreds of machining’s it requires, a stamped AK is one of the most affordable guns of its class, and will last just as long as it’s more expensive counterpart. The main difference you will note between the two is the smoother action on the milled AK-47 for sale.

Ammunition is for the AK is cheap, adding another reason for the continued popularity of the rifle among modern guns for sale.

The AK-47 for sale is available in various chambering’s. The 7.62×39mm is the most common, with 7.62×54R for long range shooting, 5.45×39mm and 5.56 NATO.

GrabAGun offers a large selection of AK-47 accessories and AK-47 parts, as well as a large selection of the AK-47 for sale in numerous brands and configurations. Get an AK-47 for sale online from GrabAGun.

Buying Tips: AK47 For Sale

May 23, 2014 | 0 Comments

Tips for First Time AK47 Buyers

There have been more guns produced among the AK47 for sale than any other modern small arms in the world. It has been estimated to account for one out of every five guns worldwide. The enduring AK has earned the reputation of extreme reliable weapon under the worst of conditions. If you are shopping for your first AK-47, the following information can assist you.

Receivers

There are two types of receivers available for the AK47 for sale: milled and stamped. A milled AK receiver is going to cost more than a stamped model with the stamped model being one of the most affordable rifles available and is just as serviceable as the milled version. The main difference you will note is that the milled version provides a smoother action.

Milled

A milled receiver begins with a solid block of steel and is machined repeatedly through various stages until the finished monobloc receiver is complete. The milled receiver receives extensive and precise machining, and it is this extensive millwork that makes a milled AK-47 for sale cost more than a stamped.

Stamped

Stamped receivers begin with a flat sheet of steel and are then formed by the process of precision bending until the receiver is complete. The final components are added, spot welding is provided, and the heavy rivets are inserted that are the hallmark of the stamped AK47 receiver.

Wood or Synthetic Furniture

The buttstock, pistol grip, and hand guards of the AK-47 for sale are available in wood or synthetic. You also have the option of exchanging wood furniture for synthetic for different uses. Folding stocks are also available in the form of under folds, right side folds, and left side folds. You can also have an AR style collapsible buttstock. Check with your state to ensure your preferred selection is legal before you buy.

AK-47 Accessories

If you plan to use a scope, select a model with a scope mount. If you are not familiar with the mounting of a scope, elect to either buy a model of the AK-47 for sale that includes a scope or have a gunsmith to install one for you. The accessories available for the AK-47 for sale continues to grow. Just keep in mind the added weight of accessories. You may elect to order a lighter weight model to assist you in reducing the weight of the accessories you plan to add.

Calibers

Many people associate the AK47 with a 7.62 x 39. The AK is actually available in several calibers. Those firing the less costly ammo are the 7.62 × 39 or 5.45 × 39. If you want a long range AK select the .308 Win or the 7.62 × 54. If you already have an AR-15 in 5.56 mm, selecting an AK-47 for sale in 5.56 can provide the convenience of using the same ammo.

Tips When Buying an AK47 For Sale

February 11, 2014 | 0 Comments

GrabAGun’s AK47 For Sale

The AK47 for sale is one of the most produced modern small arms, estimated to account for one out of every five firearms in the world. The AK47 has justifiably earned a reputation for being an extremely reliable weapon under any possible conditions. For those of you selecting your first AK-47 for sale, this guide will assist you in making an informed decision.

The AK-47 Receiver

AK rifles are available in two major receiver groups: milled and stamped. This is where you must decide if you want to go high or low dollar. Just about any milled AK-47 is going to cost more than a stamped model.

A milled receiver begins with a solid block of quality steel and is put through over 100 machining stages until there is a finished monobloc receiver. This intensive mill work is the primary reason a milled receiver on the AK-47 for sale cost more than a stamped. The action is smoother on milled guns, but you can let your budget be the deciding factor as the stamped receiver is just as serviceable as the milled and will most likely cost a lot less.

The stamped receivers are stamped out of a flat sheet of steel and then formed by precision bending until the final receiver is completed. The final work is added such as the trunions, spot welding the bolt carrier welds to the inside, and inserting the heavy rivets that are the stamped AK47 receiver’s hallmark.

Wood or Synthetic

The buttstock, pistol grip, and handguards of the AK-47 for sale are made of one of two materials, wood or synthetic. Either choice is good and it a matter of personal preference. If you are looking for the traditional, you will want to choose wood. You will choose between Soviet black made wood and a U. S. made wood stock set. It is not hard to change stock sets out if you would like to change wood or interchange between synthetic and wood for different use conditions. Synthetics are available in a variety of finishes.

Folding Stocks

The AK 47 has options when it comes to buttstocks other than fixed position stocks. Folding stocks come in under folds, right side folds, and left side folds. AK’s are also available with an AR styled collapsible buttstock. These options are legal in most states, but to be safe it is advised to always check with your state’s gun laws to ensure the stock of your choice is legal before you buy.

Barrel Length

A large number of the AK47 for sale today are 16.1-inches long. However, there are shorter and longer variants. For those novices among you buying your first AK-47, you need to be aware that buying a short barrel AK will land you in the NFA arena and will be restricted from individual ownership unless you purchase the BATFE tax stamp and process the federal NFA paperwork. This can be a very time consuming process, and there are reports of people still awaiting approval 7 months down the road. The tax stamp is a recurring annual fee that you will have to pay to retain your short barreled gun.

AK-47 Accessories

If you are going to use a scope, ensure the model you choose comes with a scope mount. It takes someone familiar with scope mounting to accurately mount a scope. The best advice for a novice obtaining their first AK-47 for sale is to choose a model with the scope already on it or use a gunsmith. The accessories market for the AK-47 continues to grow. Just keep in mind, the more you add will also be adding weight. GrabAGun offers AK 47 accessories as well as AK-47 parts.

Caliber

Which is Better? The AK47 Vs. The AR15

January 15, 2014 | 0 Comments

AK-47 and AR-15’s | Head to Head

There are fans on both sides of the AK-47 vs. AR-15 debate. Depending upon the intended use, each gun has its advantages. When making the decision as to purchase the AR 15 for sale vs. the AK47 for sale on today’s market there are several factors to be considered. One way of looking at it is that you are comparing the larger 7.62 × 39 caliber to the smaller 5.56 × 45 and .223 caliber.

Caliber is Important

Unlike the 5.56 caliber, the 7.62 caliber is able to penetrate a concrete block, or as much 0.5 inch steel plate, depending upon the ammo used. The 7.62 is going to do more damage.

All 10 bullets of both the AK and the AR 15 penetrated both sides of a truck, but only the 7.62 ammo went completely through two plywood walls of a garage. As for the 5.56 ammo, 7 of 10 shots fired entered the first wall and fragmented after passing through both sides of the trucks metal body. The results of this demonstration was in the fragmentation of the AR15 in the first wall with only three entries of ten into the second, whereas all 10 shots of the AK47 went clean through everything.

Just this past fall I saw on the news that a hunter had killed two deer with one 7.62 shot as the bullet passed through the first and entered a second killing both. Luckily he wasn’t at the end of his seasons bag limit as it was caught on film. Never under estimate the power of these guns, or of any gun for that matter. It is a gun owner’s responsibility to know the proper use and handling of a gun, as well as knowing a guns range.

Applications of the AR-15 Vs. AK-47

For the gun with the tightest grouping, the longest range, one you can trick out to the max, or use in competitive shooting; choose the AR. But if you want a rifle for self-defense and the greatest reliability, choose the AK 47. Practice makes perfect and the more familiar you are with any gun, the greater your accuracy will be. Using a good grade of ammo for sale will also help.

The AK vs. AR debate includes suitability for home defense. I personally would never shoot either inside of my home. They are simply too powerful with the ability to pass through an assailant or the walls. Either could also pass through an exterior wall and into a neighbor’s house. I prefer the AR-15 as a coyote gun and the AK is one of my if-crap-hits-the-fan guns.

Hunter’s use both guns with success and there is no shortage of either in the woods come deer season. Ultimately, my advice is to shoot both weapons before making a decision. Both are great guns and, if you can afford it, purchase one of each. I have seen accurate hunters take a deer in one shot with a .22 rifle. It’s just proof to the old saying that “a good gun can’t make a good hunter out of a bad one.”

Weight of The AK47 vs. AR15

Another factor to consider in the AK-47 vs. AR 15 decision is weight. The heavier AK 47 for sale is manufactured out of steel, whereas most AR’s are manufactured from mostly aluminum. Due to their larger size, the AK-47 ammo will add more carry weight than the AR-15 ammo for sale, another reason that many choose the AR over the AK.
