Well at least one police force in Alaska favors the AK.

The top one, who makes that receiver? It looks similar the Sharp's Brothers who I first saw Jim Fuller discuss on his YT channel about making an accurized DMR around that receiver.
I own more AK's to date than AR's, personally I'm not worried about a parts supply drying up. Then again I don't look to any of mine as primary go to rifles.
I'm all for quality domestically manufactured AK's but they are / would be for the most part cost prohibitive especially when you can pick up a LE6920-OEM1 for under $800 these days.
Yes, the top rifle is based on a Sharps Bros. receiver. As far as I am able to discover, in the top photo only the bolt and rear sight leaf are not US manufactured parts, and on the bottom Krebs Custom new "Core" rifle, the gas tube, trunnion, and bolt, are the foreign components. So pretty much domestically manufactured AKs.

The Sharps Bros AK in the above photo I think has a black nitrided barrel.

Or it may have an imported Polish chromed lined barrel.

The AK-47 born out of arctic warfare from the influence of two fathers Schmeisser and Garand, designed for the forgotten ill equipped soldier to give him at the very least- a fighting chance.
Seeing the weapon through that lens, it's a simple yet brilliantly effective design.
