Bear Creek’s AK-47 is more accurately a type of AKM, with a stamped receiver. The heart of the gun is a 16-inch parkerized 4150 steel barrel with a 1:10 twist rate. It has 14x1MM LH threads as you would expect on an AK, and it includes the slant brake most commonly seen on these kind of guns. The standard AK-style scope mounting rail is included on the left side of the receiver. Polymer furniture is standard, including rails on the handguard and a rubber butt pad on the stock. There are provisions for mounting a clearing rod but it is not shown with one.
There are three color options, black, tan, and gray. All three retail for $899 each, and do not include a magazine. All models are in stock as of writing and can be ordered to your local FFL direct from Bear Creek Arsenal.
From the manufacturer:
“For years BCA has been manufacturing and supplying AK-47 barrels to the leading manufacturers of the platform. Built and designed entirely in our facility here in Sanford, NC we are finally launching the Bear Creek Arsenal AK-47 modern rifle. The AK47 is an extension of our commitment to bring Americans firearms that are both affordable and of a high quality. We've based our rifle on the original soviet design however, we’ve added some changes that uniquely position the BCA AK47 as a modern take on the proven Kalishnakov firearm.”

The single worst mistake you can make when offering a new gun is including only one magazine, BCA just went from worst to negative worst.
How about chrome-lining the barrel and chamber for us?
