I just found out, completely by accident, that DPMS is making 7.62x39 AK-47 forged rifles they call the "Anvil". They have 8 different models, including 2 side-folders, and a pistol that's ready to take a side-folding brace or stock to be SBRed.
Features:
Gas Nitride 4150 steel treated barrel
Stamped steel receiver (a few models),
or Forged hardened steel 1mm receiver
Hammer Forged Front Trunnion
Hammer Forged Bolt
Hammer Forged Carrier
Side Scope Mount
7.62x39 Caliber
1 in 9.5" Twist
Std. 800-yard rear sight leaf
Redwood Furniture

**Cleaning Rod Not Included
I know which one I would get if I was going to buy one. Pics included.
