Is that a real AK? That's not easy to get in the US. Like $3000 in fees just to apply for one.

Only if they're automatic.

Hi armed gunma'am here,

A "real AK" could be a real Russian parts kit that was rebuilt into an AK, a zastava which is around 1200, a Century Arms AK which is around 800, an AK74 which could be around 2-3k. "Real AK" means a lot and also nothing at the same time. Typically this is called a "AK pattern" rifle since the bolt, gas system and furniture are typically the same between them. Just like there are 1000 companies that make AR15 style rifles we would call that a "AR pattern" rifle.

You can go to any gun store that has these available, pay the cost for the gun then a transfer fee of anywhere from 25-75 dollars.

Hard to tell, it doesn't look like an airsoft gun. Showing up to a protest with an airsoft gun would be a very bad idea.
