AK47
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.
