The AK47 has the well-deserved reputation as one of the most
reliable battle rifles ever produced. There are currently over
30 million of these rifles in service around the world, making
it the most widely distributed battle rifle.
This firearm was
designed by Russian inventor and soldier Mikhail Timofeevich
Kalashnikov, who was born in 1919 and is still alive. The number
of various Kalashnikov models, clones and copies could fill a
book. No matter what the variations on the basic models are,
the firearm's function remains the same. The AK47 evolved into
what is called the AKM by virtue of improved production & design
and was further enhanced to become the current production model,
the AK74 in 5.45 x 39mm.
Many different countries use the AK or a newer variant such
as the Galil, R4 as well as different Finish models. These can
all be identified by appropriate markings on the receiver. More
information on the AK-47 can be found at kalashnikov.guns.ru.
