I just received my first meridian after being around a buddy of mine's ak, I'm hooked. The fit and finish is too notch!!!! My FFL couldn't believe such a awesome rifle came from CA lol. I can't wait to shoot it and do some hunting with it. Definitely the most unique ak I own and I'd love to buy another when I heal from this buy lol.

Dudes. This is my first purchase from you guys and I am not disappointed. The patina, furniture finish, smoothness of the action, all of it. It checks all the boxes for for me to believe that you guys care about the product you're selling. Thanks for giving a shit about us out here on the other end. I still have a hard time believing this came from California. One thing I would have loved to buy with this would have been an apocalyptic looking optic mount. I'm sure there's a million good idea fairies out there pushing ideas and you can't listen to them all. Thanks again for proving the product was worth the wait.

I didn’t know what to expect with this being my first AK (saw one on demolition ranch and had to has it lol) and holy shit this thing runs like a sewing machine and is accurate as hell. I was able to nail pop cans with the first 4 shots at 80, 100, 120 and 150 yards. These guys know their craft and I am totally blow away with this rifle. Next on the list is the lil dirty if they decide to make them again.

This is a weapon I’ve been trying to get for a couple of years. The aesthetics are perfect, the length is ideal as well. A very productive firearm, and the quality top notch. If there were any issues I would say the length in time to receive it. Had it not been for the excellent customer service from Marco my rifle would still be sitting in their warehouse collecting dust (sorry not sorry). If there’s an additional issue it would also be the stock. I wish it was slightly bigger, however it’s great regardless. Thank you for providing such a great weapon. Last but not least Marco your the best. You deserve a raise.

Great build quality and looks. The rifle feels solid without the typical wobbly AK feel. Two thumbs up!

In the beginning I was constantly belly aching about the wait time. Once I received it, maaaan... I had my meat hooks all over it. Breaking it down, blah, blah, blah. I couldn't be more pleased with the finished rifle. Now I'm looking at what I'm going to sell, to get myself the 5.56 version next.

Great looking weapon, smooth action and crisp trigger break. Haven't had time to shoot it however, I own an LDP and it shoots great so assuming(yeah I know) it is also a great product.

Well worth the wait, best looking and firing ak I've ever seen and shot. Glad I was finally able to get my hands on one

Ordered 2/19/23 and received 6/16/23. Absolutely amazing and quicker turnaround than I expected. Fit and finish is superb. The guys answer an email in hours instead of days or weeks. Thanks for the hard work and dedication. I will never stop singing your praises

Beautiful craftsmanship and machine work. Worth the wait. Can't wait to hit the range with it.

This Rifle, the cost, the wait time all significantly above average, but the fit and finish of this rifle is second to none, I enjoy some of the finer things in life. snap on tools, Miller welders, John Deere tractors, so of course I tried my hardest to find an imperfection or something wrong with this thing, I was unable too, for what it is, it’s expensive but if your an AK enthusiast or looking for one that is built right with perfect tolerances and rivets this is 100% your rifle and it doesn’t disappoint, it’s just something you want to hang up on the wall like the art piece it is. And best of all this rifle won’t call you one evening to tell you it doesn’t love you anymore while in another man’s gun safe and take everything you have. Highly recommend it

This rifle is amazing. Received it this week and shot it today. Ran great suppressed and unsuppressed. Meridian doesn’t look over a single detail when building these rifles. Extremely happy with my purchase.
