Description
Plenty of AK-pattern rifles get built from surplus parts kits of questionable mileage. The DPMS Anvil takes a different route. Every one is built from all-new, precision-manufactured components, and the parts that matter most, the bolt, carrier, and front trunnion, are hammer forged for strength where the rifle takes its hardest pounding. DPMS even engraves the trunnion and bolt carrier with the Anvil name so you know you're looking at the forged model.
What Sets the DPMS Anvil Apart
The 16 inch barrel is 4150 steel with a gas nitride treatment inside and out, which means better corrosion resistance and longer barrel life than old-school chrome lining, without giving up accuracy. That barrel is pressed into the hammer-forged front trunnion, the same construction approach that gave original AKs their reputation for going the distance. The receiver is hardened 1mm stamped steel housing a mil-spec style single hook trigger, and the 1:9.5 twist stabilizes standard 7.62×39 loads just fine.
Classic AK Feel, Modern Manufacturing
Furniture is traditional black polymer on the handguard, stock, and grip, so it handles like the AK you already know. The rear leaf sight is graduated way out to 800 yards in true Kalashnikov fashion, and the factory side rail lets you clamp on a red dot or scope mount without drilling anything. This version feeds from a 10 round magazine for 10+1 on board, and it runs on the AK's long stroke piston system, the same setup that made this platform famous for eating cheap steel-case ammo without complaint.
7.62×39 remains one of the most affordable centerfire rifle cartridges around, and it hits plenty hard for hogs, deer at reasonable range, or just burning through a range day. If you've been wanting an AK that's fresh production instead of a mystery build, the Anvil is a solid way to get there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the DPMS Anvil built from a surplus parts kit or all new parts?
All new. DPMS builds the Anvil from freshly manufactured components rather than recycled surplus kits, and the bolt, carrier, and front trunnion are hammer forged. The trunnion and carrier are even engraved with the Anvil name to mark the forged construction.
Can I mount a red dot or scope on the DPMS Anvil AK-47?
Yes. The receiver comes with a standard AK side rail, so any side-rail optic mount will clamp right on and let you run a red dot or magnified scope. You still get traditional iron sights with a rear leaf graduated to 800 yards if you prefer to keep it classic.
Does the Anvil accept standard AK-47 magazines?
It feeds from standard AK-pattern 7.62×39 magazines, which are some of the most common and affordable rifle mags on the market. This model ships from the factory with a 10-round magazine for 10+1 capacity.
How durable is the nitride barrel compared to chrome lined?
The 16 inch barrel is 4150 steel with a gas nitride treatment, which hardens the steel and protects against corrosion inside the bore and out. Nitride generally matches or beats chrome lining for wear resistance while holding tighter accuracy, since there's no lining thickness to vary. It handles steel-case ammo without any fuss.
