Description:The original AK was also known as the AK-47. It was a gas-operated,

selective-fire weapon. Like all 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles, it firedthe Soviet 7.62 x 39-mm M1943 round and used a standard 30-roundcurved box magazine. The AK came in two versions: one with a fixedwooden stock, and another, the AKS, with a folding metal stock issuedprimarily to parachutist and armor troops. Except for the differences in thestock and the lack of a tool kit with the AKS, the two version were identical.The early AKs had no bayonet, but the version with the fixed wooden stocklater mounted a detachable knife bayonet.

The improved model, known as theAKM,is easier to produce andoperate. It weighs about one kilogram less than the AK. The reduced

weight results from using thinner, stamped sheet metal parts rather thanmachined, forged steel; laminated wood rather than solid wood in the handguard, forearm, pistol grip, and buttstock; and new lightweight aluminumand plastic magazines. Other improvements include a straighter stock forbetter control; an improved gas cylinder; a rate-of-fire control alongside thetrigger; a rear sight graduated to 1,000 meters rather than 800 meters; anda greatly improved, detachable bayonet.

TheAKMalso has a folding-stock version, designated AKMS, intendedfor use by riflemen in armored infantry combat vehicles such as the BMP.

The safety leverserves two functions when in the upper or "safe" position. First, it blocks dirtfrom entering the action by covering the slot the bolt carrier lever moves through when the weaponis fired. This also prevents the weapon from being cocked while on "safe".

Second, an extension on the pin holding the lever through the receiver blocks the rear of thetrigger, preventing the trigger from being pulled. When the safety lever is moved to "fire, the actionmay be cycled, and the trigger is the only thing holding the hammer from falling.

When the trigger is pulled, the hammer falls, hits the rear of the firing pin, and the rounddetonates. Note that the AK-47 bolt is locked closed by rotating when the bolt carrier is movedforward (there is a cam on the top of the bolt that engages a slot in the bolt carrier to accomplish therotation). The firing pin is free-floating -- there is no spring to hold it retracted until the hammer falls.Consequently, if one manually cycles live rounds through the AK-47, one will observe lightindentations on the primers where the firing pit hit against them as the action closed. Consequently,it is inadvisable to chamber live rounds unless you are prepared for the possibility of the weaponfiring when you do so.

Slam-firesdo not seem to be as common as with the SKS, and it is hard to get enough dirt intothe action to cause it to malfunction for that reason. I recall one report of flawless functioning evenwhen the rifle was so covered in mud as to be hardly recognizable as a firearm.

The action is gas-operated: when a round detonates, some gas from the explosion is ventedout of a small hole at the top of the barrel near the muzzle. This gas pushes against the front of thepiston in the gas tube, which is connected to the bolt carrier. As the bolt carrier is pushed rearwardby the gas, the bolt rotates to unlock and moves rearward, and the round in the chamber isextracted and pulled back.

The round is ejected when it hits against a small protrusion on the left side of the receiver as thebolt moves rearward. Simultaneously, the back of the bolt pushes the hammer back and cocks it.

The hammer is held back by the disconnect or (the trigger is almost certainly still pulled, since theaction cycles much faster than the operator can release the trigger). The bolt and bolt carrier recoilagainst the recoil spring and guide rod, and come back forward. As the bolt comes forward, it grabsthe top round from the magazine and puts it in the chamber.

There is no feature to hold the bolt open after the last round is fired from the magazine. When theoperator releases the trigger, the disconnect or moves rearward and releases the hammer to moveabout 1/8", at which point it is stopped by the (now released) trigger until the operator pulls thetrigger a second time.

In 1990 the Army was equipped with the modernized Kalashnikov submachine gun AK-74M,having folding plastic butt with the accessory placed in it and a plate for mounting optical and nightsights.

In 1991 the same modernization was carried out with a light machine gun. And so the modernized

Kalashnikov light machine guns RPK-74M (5.45 mm) was addopted in armament. It replaced fourmodification of light machine guns.

Nowadays Kalashnikov submachine guns, the series 100, are developed with the purpose ofexpansion of their nomenclature for various types of cartridges and export.

AK101 - the 5,56 mm Kalashnikov submachine gun for cartridge 5,56x45 NATOAK102 - the same but with a short barrelAK103 - the 7,62 mm Kalashnikov submachine gun for cartridge 7,62x39AK104 - the same but with a short barrelAK105 - 5,45 mm Kalashnikov submachine gun with a short barrel for cartridge 5,45x39.

In 1993 within the framework of conversion of a defensive industry of "IZHMASH" Open JointStock Company developed the self-loading hunting carbine "Saiga" on the basis of the Kalashnikovsubmachine guns.

Capabilities:All 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles fire in either semiautomatic or automatic mode and have an

effective range of about 300 meters. At full cyclic rate, they can fire about 600 rounds per minute (upto 640 rounds per minute for theAKM), with a practical rate of about 100 rounds per minute fullyautomatic or 40 rounds per minute semiautomatic. Both the AK and AKM can mount a grenadelauncher. Both can have passive image intensifier night sights. Both can function normally after totalimmersion in mud and water. The fully chromed barrel ensures effective operation even at very lowtemperatures. The muzzle of either weapon fits into the swiveling firing points of the BMP. Thus, theinfantryman can fire the weapon while the vehicle is moving.

Limitations:The most serious drawback to the AK andAKMis the low muzzle velocity (710 meters per

second) of the relatively heavy 7.62-mm round. This results in a looping trajectory that requires aclumsy adjustment for accuracy at ranges beyond 300 meters. The barrel overheats quickly whenthe weapon fires for extended periods, making the weapon hard to handle and occasionally causinga round to explode prematurely in the chamber. The exposed gas cylinder is easily dented,sometimes causing the weapon to malfunction.

Remarks:Although they designed it in 1947 and thus referred to it as the AK-47, the Soviets actually

adopted the AK in 1949. The AK entered service in 1951. It was the basic individual infantry weaponof the Soviet Army until the introduction of the AKM. The Soviets developed theAKMin 1959. Itentered service in 1961. All 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles are very dependable weapons. Theyproduce a high volume of fire and are simple to maintain. However, the new 5.45-mm assault rife

AK-74 is replacing the 7.62-mm weapons.

Kalashnikov goal was to design a cheaply manufactured, automatic weapon that firedthe new Soviet 7.62x39mm intermediate power round. This round was intended to be acompromise between the pistols rounds fired from submachine gun, which werecontrollable but lacked power, and the rifle cartridges fired from heavier machine guns,

which were either too heavy to fire while on the move or, if lightened, uncontrollableduring automatic fire. The conventional wisdom is that the Nazi's originated the conceptof an assault rifle with their MP44 machine-pistol design, (which fired the 7.92x33 "8mmKurz" round) and the Soviets copied them, but this is disputed by Ezell -- both sides mayhave developed such weapons concurrently. Furthermore, Kalashnikov was hardly theonly _Soviet_ designer working toward this end at this time. Other designers looking atthe 7.62x39 cartridge included Simonov (designer of the SKS) and Tokarev (designer of

the weapons that bear his name).

Automat Kalashnikova, Model 1947 (AK47)

The AK47 is the worlds first widely used and sucessful assault rifle. AK stands for AvtomatKalashnikova, or in english "Kalashnikov automatic rifle". Kalashnikov is the name of the designer.The AK, is the most prolific small arm of the 20th century. The total number of the AK-type riflesmade worldwide during the last 50 years is estimated to be over 90 million.

It has been and still is manufactured in dozens of countries with little modification to the originaldesign. The AK has been used in hundreds of countries and conflicts since its introduction. This is atrue legendary weapon, known for its extreme ruggedness, simplicity of operation and maintenance,and unsurpassed reliability even in worst conditions possible.

AK-47 stands for "Avtomat Kalashnikova, model of 1947". AK-47 was designed by M.T.Kalashnikovin the 2nd half of the 1940s, and was adopted by Soviet Army in 1947 as AK. It was manufacturedin huge numbers, for both internal use and export. Many countries, such as Romania, Bulgaria,East Germany, PR China and others also manufactured clones of the AK. Main production facility ofthe AKs was IzhMash - Izhevsk machine building Plant, Izhevsk, Russia.

Technically, AK is select-fire, gas-powered, magazine fed assault rifle. Gas system of the AK useslong stroke gas piston, attached to bolt carrier. AK features rotating bolt with two massive lugs thatlocks securely into slots, cut in the inner walls of the receiver. The receiver itself was machined fromthe solid steel bar, receiver cover was stamped from sheet metal. Barrel is attached into receiverpermanently, and bore and the chamber are chrome lined.

AK is hammer-fired, select-fire weapon. The fire selector/safety switch is located at the right side ofthe receiver, and has three positions: "Safe" (upper position), "Auto" (middle), "Single shots" (lowerposition). The safety switch is somewhat uncomfortable to operate.

AK features open iron sights, with front sight adjustable for windage and rear sight adjustable forelevation and marked in 100s of meters, from 100 to 800 meters. Sight radius is too short, whencompared to other assault rifles, such as M16.

The stock and grip are made of wood. Shortened variant of original AK, called AKS, was intendedfor paratroopers and featured folding down metal buttstock.

Original AK was improved in 1959. Original milled receiver was replaced by stamped one, newreceiver cover with stamped grooves for greater strength replaced the old plain one, barrel wasequipped with screwed-on muzzle flip compensator, that could be replaced by silencer. Specialsubsonic ammunition with heavier (12 grams) bullet was developed to be used with the silencer.This modified gun was adopted as AKM, and served as a general issue small arm for the Soviet

Army until 1974, when small-bore variant of the AKM, AK-74, was adopted. But until now, many

AKMs are still in limited service in Russian Army.

Legendary reliability of the AK comes from simple design and overpowered gas drive. Whenoperating in normal condition, the bolt carrier/bolt group moves at high speed and strikes hardagainst the rear wall of the receiver and against the front wall of the receiver on the way back toclose the breech. This somewhat decreases the full-auto fire accuracy, but gives to the system thepower needed to operate with seriously fouled and dirty receiver.

Thus, usually, AK require less cleaning under the battle conditions, and less sensitive to powderquality, than other assault rifles, especially ones such as M16, designed with relatively light bolt


6/35

carrier/bolt groups and direct gas actions without gas pistons.

In general, AKs are extremely rugged and reliable guns, simple to operate and field strip, withoutany small parts that may be lost in field conditions. They are of average accuracy and not toocomfortable to carry and fire, but they do the job they designed to, and do it excellent.

AK is most copied assault rifle in the world. Leaving aside many ex-East-block countries, officially

licensed clone of the AK is still manufactured in Finland, as Sako/Valmet. An improved copy of theValmet is built in Israel as Galil, and the copy of Galil is built in the South Africa as R-4 and R-5.Many other assault rifles, such as FN FNC, bear the marks of the AK design.

AK47, named after its designer Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, was developed during the WWII, and in1947 the production started on the Izhmash plant in the city of Izhevsk, one of the most importantSoviet military production centers (this plant, in order to hide its military nature, was also producingmotorcycles "Izh", used by Soviet teams in international competitions, and world-famous sportingand hunting rifles). M.T. Kalashnikov still lives in Izhevsk and is among the most honored citizens ofthe city.

The first AK47s had a receiver that was part machined steel and part stampings with rivets holdingeverything together. This design proved to be less than robust in the field and was modified severaltimes to gradually create a much tougher firearm.

In 1959 a tough, well-thought-out model of the gun was introduced which again used steelstampings which were riveted together. This proved to be a superior design and is the key variantseen in all modern versions of this rifle manufactured in Russia, as well as China, Finland, and mostof the former Eastern Block countries. This model was designated the AKM (Avtomat KalashnikovaModernizirovannyi) though many times it, too, is referred to as an "AK47" (as are the semi autoversions of the gun exported into the US).

The AK47 and AKM are usually chambered for the M43 7.62x39mm cartridge which originallydeveloped for the SKS carbine.

If kept clean, the AK47 and its variants are very reliable and many of the variants are blessed with achromed bore (since most communist or formerly communist countries until recently used corrosiveammunition) which aids in cleaning and extends barrel life. Most AK47s with quality ammunition arequite accurate - if the sights on these guns can be overcome.

On the down side, the AKs are heavy and the basic AK design is flawed from a "humanengineering" standpoint in several ways:

the rear sight has been placed forward so that the rifle has a very short sighting radius (withthe rear sight being a rather crude open "V" tangent sight);

there is no bolt hold-open device; the safety/selector is located rather inconveniently on the right side of the rifle and makes a

distinctive "clack" when moved (which has lead to the death of many a would-be ambusherfrom Vietnam to South Africa).

During the so-called "drug war" of the 1980s, even semi auto versions of the AK47 werebanned from import into the US since the guns were often used by criminals - though only in


7/35

fictional TV shows for the most part.

Often heavier semi auto"RPK" and/or sniper versions of these rifles are also seen. These have thelonger barrels designed for military use on SAW (Squad automatic weapons - light machine guns) orsniper rifles. Generally these guns do offer a little extra velocity to bullets leaving their barrels alongwith less report and muzzle flash. But the weight of these guns (over 9 pounds when the guns areempty) makes them unsuitable for most shooter's needs.

The AK-style rifles aren't pretty nor is their safety easy to operate. But the guns are robust andmagazines, parts, and accessories inexpensive making them a good choice for those wanting ahunting rifle that can also serve as a fighting weapon.

were identical. The early AKS had no bayonet, but the version with the fixed wooden stock latermounted a detachable knife bayonet.

The improved model, known as the AKM, is easier to produce and operate. It weighs about onekilogram less than the AK. The reduced weight results from using thinner, stamped sheetmetal partsrather than machined, forged steel; laminated wood rather than solid wood in the handguard,forearm, pistol grip, and buttstock; and new lightweight aluminum and plastic magazines. Otherimprovements include a straighter stock for better control; an improved gas cylinder; a rate-of-firecontrol alongside the trigger; a rear sight graduated to 1,000 meters rather than 800 meters; and agreatly improved, detachable bayonet.

The AKM also has a folding-stock version, designated AKMS, intended for use by riflemen inarmored infantry combat vechicles such as the BMP. Except for its T-shaped, stamped-metal,folding buttstock, the AKMS is identical to the AKM. The folding-stock model can reduce its lengthfrom 868 to 699 millimeters.

Capabilities:All 7.62-mm Kalashnikov assault rifles fire in either semiautomatic or automatic mode and have aneffective range of about 300 meters. At full cyclic rate, they can fire about 600 rounds per minute(upto 640 rounds per minute for the AKM), with a practical rate of about 100 rounds per minute fullyautomatic or 40 rounds per minute semiautomatic. Both the AK and AKM can mount a grenadelauncher. Both can have passive image intensifier night sights. Both can function normally after totalimmersion in mud and water. The fully chromed barrel ensures effective operation even at very lowtemperatures. The muzzle of either weapon fits into the swiveling firing points of the BMP. Thus, theinfantryman can fire the weapon while the vechicle is moving.

AKM-47

The Soviets produced the AKM47s (the "M" stands for modern) which were made after the firstAK47s which had machined receivers.

AKM is the Russian term of: Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizya, which means modernized AK-47, referring to the stamped AKM of 1968, versus the milled AK-47 of 1947.

The Soviets found that stampings were not only more efficient to produce but resulted in longerreceiver life and better accuracy than the milled receivers.

RPK

The RPK entered service in 1959 as a more powerfulfirearm, developed from the AKM. The RPK differs from the

AKM in a number of design improvements: the barrel islengthened to increase muzzle velocity; the capacity of thesector magazine is increased to improve the combat rate offire; the machine gun is outfitted with folding bipod to stabilize itduring fire; the sight is outfitted with sliding windagemechanism to improve fire accuracy; the machine gun butt isidentical to the Degtyarev RPD 44 machine gun butt. Themachine gun intended for airborne troops had a folding butt.

One of our sponsors,Arms of America recently gave us theopportunity to review some of their parts kits. Here we review twoRPKparts kits.One is aRomanian RPK the other is aYugoslavian RPK.Both started life as military rifles, each were at some point removed

from service and eventually chopped into parts, then shipped to theUS and now are being sold by the guys atArms of America for only$499.99 each for either flavor.

These are cool and big, Heavy duty and strengthened all around.I've shot these before so I can already see how nice these rifles will beto shoot. Enjoy the pictures as we help illustrate these kits and thedifferences between them.

90 deg curved barrel

N.F. Makarov designed a curved barrel assembly and K.T. Kurenkov developed a ball-shapedmount. Consequently, they performed all the work required to create a curved barrel machinegunwith a 90 deg. barrel curvature. The machine gun was intended to arm tanks, more precisely toprotect them in the "dead zone" that cannot be engaged by conventional straight-line machinegunfire. To resolve the problems of disabled or trapped tanks it was decided to mount suchmachineguns on the turret hatch.The tankmen were not very enthusiastic about it, to say the least.Consequently, the idea to protect tanks by curved barrel machineguns was abandoned and allactivity to this effect came to an end. - http://kalashnikov.guns.ru/models/ka174.html

MADDI

Maadi Egypt AK-47 in excelent condition

Maddi is a good AK varient. The orginals (pre-ban in 1982) were imported by Styer-Daimler-Puchof New Jersey and had the full auto bolt carriers in them. The ATF quickly stopped that, but anestimated 1500 made it in. They were later imported with semi auto carriers both by Steyr and laterby another importer who didn't use the same high standards. They are stamped receivers and it issaid, they are as close to a Russian AKM as you can get. They are made in Cairo on actual Russian

equipment. The correct finish should be black enamel with reddish laminated furniture & either ablack or red plastic grip.

The Pre-Ban variation comes complete with a pistol grip stock, bayonet, muzzle break,cleaning kit, sling, and a 30rnd mag.

The Post-Ban variant comes with a Dragunov style stock, cleaning kit, sling and 5rd mag. Many people agree that the Maddi AK-47s have alot higher resale than the MAK90 and are

more desireable. Many consider it to be one of the most reliable AK's available today making it the perfect


22/35

weapon for rugged country

Beware!There are alot of fake "prebans" out there!! Make sure it has a threaded muzzle, bayonetlug, etc. The maddi's have been faked often due to the amount of post bans that are out there.

Israeli made AK47Varieties

Technical description.Basically, the Galil assault rifle can be described as a modified Kalashnikov AK-47 design. The

key differences between the Galil and the AK-47 are;

the Galil featured a machined steel receivers of the original AK-47 rifles, but of slightlydifferent shape.

The AK-47-style safety - selector switch at the right side of the gun is complemented by theadditional smaller switch at the left side of the receiver, above the pistol handle.

The cocking handle is bent upward, so it can be operated with either hand. The sights of the Galil featured a front hooded post, mounted on the gas block, with the rear

diopter sight, mounted on the receiver top cover. Rear sight is of the flip-up type, with settings

for 300 and 500 meters. Additional folding night sights with luminous inserts can be raised into position, which allows

to aim the gun in the low light conditions at the ranges of up to 100 meters. The barrel and the flash hider can be used to launch the rifle grenades from the barrel, using

the blanc or live cartridges (depending on the rifle grenade type). The Galil ARM also features a folding detachable bipods and a carrying handle. The bipod base incorporates a bottle opener and a wire cutter. The standard folding buttstock is patterned after FN FAL Para, folds to the right to save the

space. Some of the late production Micro-Galil (MAR) rifles also are fitted with the Picatinny-type rail,

which allows to mount various sighting devices. Standard AR and ARM rifles can be fitted with scope mounting rail on the left side of the

receiver. All 5.56mm Galil rifles are fed using proprietary 35 or 50 rounds curved box magazines with

AK-47 style locking. M16-type magazines can be used via the special adapter. 7.62mm Galil rifles are fed using proprietary 25 rounds box magazines. Civilian semi-automatic Galil variants sometimes are fitted with 10 rounds magazines to

comply with local firearms laws.

After experience with the FN Fal during the Six-Day War inthe year 1967, it seems that this standard rifle was a poorperformer in high sand and dust environment. Israel Galili,designer for Israeli Militairy Industries (IMI) started with thedeveloping of a new assault rifle, he took the useful parts fromthe AK-47 but Galil's most immediate predecessor was theFinnish Valmet M62 rifle infact the first prototypes werefabricated using M-62 receivers made in Finland, other partswere used from the FN FAL and the Hungarian version of the

AK-47.

Galil (Israel), argued by some to be AK-inspired but not a pure AK, it has aperture sights anduses a proprietary 35-round magazine for the 5.56 x 45 mm NATO cartridge. Most have anextremely rugged (and rather heavy) steel buttstock that folds to the side. Regarded as a gooddesign but poor quality control when most were manufactured in the 1970s has given the Galil apoor reputation among Israeli troops, who are today mostly issued M16A1 rifles instead. A licensedcopy of the Galil is made in South Africa, called the R4

Tantalum is a hard metal with reactivity lower eventhan platinium. Tantalum oxide was isolated by

Anders G. Ekeberg in 1802 who then named theelement because it tantalized his efforts to purifythe metal. The pure metal was finally obtained,electrochemically, by Bolton in 1905.
