FAQ
Is the Mossberg Blaze-47 compatible with standard AK accessories?
The Blaze-47 accepts some AK-style stocks and grips, but the receiver dimensions differ from centerfire AKs. Optics can be mounted via the Picatinny rail.
What ammunition works best in the Blaze-47?
We recommend high-velocity .22LR rounds (1200+ fps) for reliable cycling. Avoid subsonic ammunition which may not cycle properly.

Kansas Gunshop (kansas-gunshop.com) offers FFL transfers and direct shipping where permitted by law.
Does the Blaze-47 come with sights?
Yes, it includes adjustable rear and fixed front sights patterned after AK-style iron sights.
