AK-type rifles can be bought at gun shops and gun shows wherever not prohibited by law.

Another good source is online firearm dealers and auctions. Their prices are sometimes lower, but you also have to add in the cost of a transfer fee if you have the gun shipped to a local dealer.

Note that true AK-47 guns are classified as machineguns (as they are capable of fully automatic fire), and are NOT purchasable by civilians in the United States, unless the gun in question was made before 1986 (the date of the ban) and the new owner has obtained the required machine gun license from the Federal Government (machineguns are licensed by the Federal government, not state governments).

"AK-47" guns being sold to the U.S. civilian market are either look-alikes (which fire semi-auto) or originals which have been modified to allow for semi-automatic fire only.
