nope, They stopped building automatic weapons for civilians, and the ones that still exists can only be bought from an arms dealer with a special licenses. You don't need that licenses to buy them just to sell them.
and the lack of production just causes them to be expensive.
I think it depends on your state.
Semi-automatic AK-type rifles are legal and obtainable in most states of the United States, however they may or may not be legal to own or possess depending on state, county, city, and local laws and ordinances. Persons interested in owning one of these types of rifles are strongly encouraged to research the laws where they reside or plan to keep and use the weapon. The 1989 Semi-Automatic Rifle Import Ban (18 USC 925(d)(3)) and the 1994
Federal Assault Weapons Ban specifically banned the AK-47 by name, and many other such weapons (including obvious clones of AK-47's) manufactured after 1994 had to be modified to the letter of the law (removal of barrel threading, bayonet lug and folding stock). This ban expired on September 13, 2004, as part of the law's
sunset provision, making all domestically produced semi-automatic AK-47s legal. The import of AK pattern rifles with certain features (i.e. WASR rifles legally are imported with the low capacity single stack magazine) is still banned. However, certain states such as
California,
New York,
New Jersey and
Massachusetts have specific restrictions which effectively ban new purchases of many semi-automatic rifles, with some mentioning AK-pattern firearms by name.
In my state you can own a semi auto ak47. You just have to have a special license to own a full auto.
