Schools across Russia have been told to teach pupils how to strip and assemble an AK-47 to mark the 100th birthday of Mikhail Kalashnikov.

The Russian Ministry of Education published the guidelines, that called for the nationwide school lessons, today.

Russian general Kalashnikov was born on November 10, 1919 and is known for developing the AK-47 assault rifle. He is revered as a public figure in Russia and passed away in December 2013, at the age of 93.

There was a time when the skills to field strip, in the dark, a 1911 AND an M-1 were widely distributed among those in the population that “had a pair in working order.”

You just had to make sure you kept control of the springs when you released them, as they were hard to find in the dark.

My son could field strip and reassemble an AK when he was 11. Same with an AR.
