Just arrived from Ethiopia for the first time ever to the U.S. market!
Ethiopian produced ET-97 AK Parts Kits available now! These rifles were produced by the Gafat Armament Engineering Complex based upon the North Korean Type 68 rifle and further updated with some features similar to an AK-103. The parts kits are in fair to very good condition. These rifles are chambered in 7.62×39 and can utilize standard AKM magazines. Bore condition is generally good as these barrels were chrome lined. The populated barrels will include the rear sight base, handguard retainer, gas block with sling swivel, front sight and muzzle brake. Additionally, the trigger components such as the hammer, trigger, trigger guard, springs, etc. are included. The remaining kits may not include the pistol grip bolt. The rear receiver section is included with rear trunnion and sling swivel. The rear sling swivel may be bent. Additionally, we are including 1 new production recoil spring with these parts kits (recoil spring only, not the entire recoil spring assembly).
Most of these cut receiver sections feature the factory markings on the left side of the receiver near the trunnion and on the trunnion. Does not include the middle section of the receiver.
Please view the photos above to see what is included in these kits. Please note as of of 4-16-26 that there may not be a rear sight leaf and a gas tube latch.
Does not include the bolt carrier, bolt, recoil spring, dust cover, gas tube and furniture set. No cleaning rod or magazine included.
We offer a Hand Select fee for overall metal finish condition when selecting these kits.
We also offer many other new production AK parts such as gas tubes, dust covers, magazines and more to complete these kits.
NO FFL OR C&R REQUIRED

2 reviews for Ethiopian Gafat ET-97 AK Parts Kits with Live Barrel, 7.62×39
Kenneth Alexander (verified owner) –
I received the kit today and it is as described above, except mine did not come with an accessory rail. The kit is in good to fair condition as I paid the extra fee for hand select for finish and bore. The parts are crude compared to my Russian/Bulgarian/Polish kits but it makes the kit that much more interesting and unique. I would give it 5 stars if the parts set was complete, however for what it is and how it was described I would give it a 5.

Mine has an excellent bore with strong rifling, side rail, and safety lever was left out. But contacted RTI customer service and they sent it right out. There customer service and warehouse manager are amazing, I can’t wait to build it out.
