Our Assessment: The Romarm PAR-1 is a rifle that’s a clever workaround to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban. Romarm, known for its robust and reliable firearms, took a creative turn with the PAR-1. They’ve essentially taken the iconic AK-47 design and reimagined it as a pump-action rifle, all in response to the legislative landscape shaped by the Assault Weapons Ban.
The 1994 Assault Weapons Ban in the U.S. put a damper on the civilian ownership of certain semi-automatic firearms, and that’s where the PAR-1 comes into play. By adapting the AK-47 into a pump-action format, Romarm opened a door for enthusiasts and shooters in the U.S. to legally own a rifle with the soul of an AK-47 without stepping over the legal line. This move was not just innovative; it was a smart response to the demands of the market in a time of restrictive gun laws.
Chambered in 7.62x39mm, the PAR-1 keeps the firepower that AK-47 enthusiasts crave, but the pump-action mechanism brings a whole new rhythm to shooting this rifle. It’s an engaging, hands-on experience that adds a layer of involvement in every shot fired. The design might still give you that classic AK feel, but the action is a fresh take, offering a unique shooting experience. The Romarm PAR-1 isn’t just a firearm adapting to legal boundaries; it’s a testament to the ingenuity in the firearms world, finding new ways to keep the spirit of a legendary gun alive under changing regulations.
