The ubiquitous .22 Long Rifle cartridge chambered in an AK-47-style platform is exactly what O.F. Mossberg & Sons created with its American-made Blaze-47 rifle. This semi-automatic repeater features a polymer receiver mated to a 16.5" blued-steel barrel. The rifle feeds from 10- or 25-round detachable box magazines and provides shooters with adjustable fiber-optic sights.
