German AKM Clone - 7.62x39mm AK47

|
|
|
This one has the distinctive brown dimpled German plastic stock

|
|
|
The front handguards on the German AK47s are made from a heat resistant bakelite and the upper handguard is the same plastic as the stock and pistol grip

|
|
|
The brown plastic German AK pistol grip is also unique. And in order to install one in the US (according to 922r) the gun must be made with a US made gas piston, receiver, trigger (3 parts) and US magazine (2 or 3 parts)
|

|
US style AK47 - 7.62x39mm AK47. This one is not really a clone of any 'real AK' instead it sports a US made 'thumbhole' stock which is much more comfortable to shoot than the typical Thumbhole stocks

|
|
|
|
Camo Chinese Type 56S - 7.62x39mm AK47. This is a quite rare Chinese Type 56S-2 with folding wire / plastic stock and unique handguards. This one is not built on a US receiver. Instead this rifle was imported in this configuration, and later painted a camo pattern... at the time it was not as rare as it is today

|
|
|
The safety was also modified to work as a bolt hold open (like the Yugo AK). The Chinese rivet pattern is also different than most European AK47 styles

|
|
|
The distinctive stock on the Chinese Type 56S is short but sturdy

Chinese Clone - 7.62x39mm AK47

|
|
|
This one is a simple mock up of a Chinese AK. Using Chinese furniture on a Romanian G kit and a US made receiver

|
|
|
The Chinese stock has a unique shape

Russian AK47 Clone - 7.62x39mm AK47 built on a B-West receiver (From Tucson, AZ)

|
|
|
This one uses real Russian AK47 (old) wood furniture

|
|
|
This one has a nice looking stock that was hand picked for the pattern in the wood

|
|
|
No vent holes in the gas tube (AK47), and none in the gas block (AKM) .. but the gun still functions fine. The markings on the B-West receiver

Chinese - 7.62x39mm AK47 with underfolder bayonet

|
|
|
This is another Chinese import, not a US made clone. It has the interesting and fairly rare underfolding spike bayonet

|
|
|
The bayonet is on a hinge and locks closed and open.

|
|
|
While open the Chinese AK47 spike bayonet is very sturdy

|
|
|
There is a slot in the lower handguard for the spike bayonet to fit into when closed

|
|
|
R.A.I. Woodland Hills CA Made in China. Imported by Royal Arms International in California

AK74 Clone - 5.45x39mm AK74 (SAR-2)

|
|
|
Another import, this one from Romania. A SAR 2 (Semi Auto Rifle #2)

|
|
|
Since the SAR-2 were imported during the 'ban' they had no muzzle devices, so they never threaded the barrels. Now that muzzle devices are no longer banned, it is a simple project to thread the barrel

|
|
|
The SAR-2 has a Com-Block (WARSAW Pact) scope rail on the left side of the receiver
|
|
|
|
Yugo M70 B2 - 7.62x39mm AK47

|
|
|
This Yugo M-70 was built on a US made receiver and an 'AK47 parts kit'

|
|
|
These AK47 parts kits are often carved and personalized by the troops that used them. Carvings and stickers are common on used Yugo kits. This lower handguard is carved with "N. Mapnhko" and has a transformers sticker

|
|
|
The Yugo M-70 AK47 have night sights (glow in the dark) that flip up over the standard sights
