This Bulgarian AK-47U, chambered in 7.62×39mm, represents an exceptionally rare and pristine example of Eastern Bloc firearms engineering. Renowned worldwide for producing some of the finest Kalashnikov variants, Bulgarian military manufacturing is considered a gold standard in AK durability, machining precision, and reliability. This compact 'U' variant combines the iconic, robust long-stroke piston action of the traditional AK platform with a shortened, highly manoeuvrable chassis, historically designed for compact handling.

Preserved in unfired condition, this rifle is a true museum-grade artefact, offering an incredible opportunity for serious collectors. Featuring the iconic Bulgarian 4-piece muzzle booster and chambered in the ubiquitous 7.62×39mm cartridge, this piece represents an increasingly unrepeatable opportunity for collectors to acquire a factory-fresh piece of military firearms history. Please note that due to New Zealand firearms legislation, this item is classified as a prohibited firearm and is available only to authorised collectors or institutions with appropriate permits for historical display.
