Video: Definitive Arms AKX-9 Finally Unveiled, Now Available Online

Earlier this week I posted about the upcoming reveal of the Definitive Arms AKX-9. Today, AK Operators Union uploaded a seven-minute video showing off the new blowback 9x19mm in-depth, and announced its availability online. The gun is quite the sight to behold (note that Rob has installed a couple of aftermarket furniture accessories on his personal test gun).

The first run of AKX-9s are available now through Copper Custom and Atlantic Firearms. Several variants are listed on Copper Custom and Atlantic, including a fixed-stock model with wood furniture, a pistol variant, and a side-folder with a triangular skeletonized stock. Prices run from $1,499 to $1,779. All of the AKX-9 models use Colt-pattern 9x19mm magazines. The product description for the triangle side-folder (priced the highest at $1,779) is as follows:

  • AKX-9 Features
  • Dedicated AKX-9 mm Barrel 1:10 twist 11.125″ long
  • Full auto tapered chamber
  • 1/2×28 threads on Barrel for adding Suppressors and Flash hiders
  • Will work with standard hand guards, standard stocks, and grips
  • Side rail for optics mounting
  • Black KG Gun Kote finish
  • Bolt Hold Open on last shot
  • Bolt release for Quick mag changes
  • Drop Free mag well with metal mags
  • 1 Year Factory Warranty

Currently, all major AKX-9 components are manufactured in the United States, including the barrel and receiver.

I've been a history and gun enthusiast since I was a kid. I love to shoot just about anything, from silenced bolt-action .22s to fully automatic heavy machine guns, and I love even more when I get to write about them. My main interests are modern small arms and the military small arms of World War II and prior conflicts, with a particular focus on Russian and Finnish firearms. Reading about guns like the Mosin-Nagant rifle in books and on the internet got me interested in collecting, shooting, and writing about them, and I hope to do the same for others through my work.
