I would be clueless though. Travis, any idea?
Anyhow, he never made much money off of it during the communist area.
However, it seems like capitalism has come to Russia :-)
Cheers.

AK47 and AKM (sheet metal receiver) are 7.62x39mm
AK74 is 5.45x39mm (a soviet attempt in the early 70s to duplicate 5.56mm performance of the M16)
Newer AKs manufactured by former Eastern bloc countries now in NATO are 5.56mm to comply with the NATO standard.
The AK was ranked ahead of the M16 on the history/military channel show on top 10 rifles. This was due primarily to number of units manufactured - not because it is a better design. IMHO, the M16 is more accurate and far superior as far as ergonomics go.
