No, not really.

Probably the most "American" AK is going to be the Arsenal, but it still starts its life in Izhevsk (which I consider a good thing).

Don't be scared off due to the "made in the USA" hype. International trade is the heart of capitalism, and cheap imports are the only reason US mfg's aren't charging $2000 for entry level rifles.

Besides, in buying an American re-manufacture or an import, you are still supporting an American business... Just not an American factory. And at least if it is from Izhevsk you know it is not from a sweatshop in China, like most of the other products we buy.
