The DPMS Anvil was designed from the ground up to be a new standard in AK-47 rifles, utilizing all new precision manufactured parts. All Anvil Rifles are Hammer Forged with a hammer forged bolt, carrier, and front trunnion.

The 4150 barrel is nitride treated for accuracy and durability and is pressed into a new hammer forged front trunnion to ensure the longevity AK-47s are known for. The hardened steel 1mm receiver features a mil-spec style single hook trigger, and side rail mount. The front trunnion and bolt carrier are engraved with Anvil to designate the Anvil hammer forged model.
