Thank you!

Here come the cheap AK-47’s and AK-74’s...nice time to stock up on them before the Democrats begin a hard push for gun control.

The AK stands for Automatic Killer. signed Geraldo

[FarCenter]

7.62×39mm

[Arlis]

Uhhhh......what caliber is it? 7.62x51?

[sauropod]

Shouldn’t that be “Indi-” vs. “Indo-”?

[Captain Rhino]

It’s in the old, reliable 7.62mm x 39mm (since the AK-200 series can come in other calibers and cartridges).

I have an AK. One of the “good” ones too. A Maadi, with wooden furniture. Total POS - like every other AK I”ve ever shot.

Inaacurate, clunky, thuddy recoil and no modularity for adding glass and accessories. Mo universality to any parts/componants.

Plus - that they’re so reliable is truly a WIVES tale. Cannot tell you how many mag jams I’ve seen... and complcations from crappy steel ammo most use.

Least reliable rifle I own.

[snoringbear]

30 caliber.

The Area Of Difference Between The AK 203 And AK 47:

1. Against AK-47’s empty magazine weight of 4.3kg, the AK-203 is lighter at 3.8kg

2. it has a sighting range of 800m compared with an effective range of 300-400m for the older variant.

3. The AK-203 magazine contains 30 rounds while the AK-47 magazine carries 20 or 30-rounds.

4. The two rifles have an identical rate of fire of 600 rounds/min. The AK-203 has a length of 705mm with the stock folded, while the AK-47 measures 645mm.

5. AK-203 also features an integrated compensator and flash suppressor which is missing in the older variant that is AK 47.

the soviets really got their money’s worth out of Hugo schmeisser, kalashnikov didn’t design the gun

[Disambiguator]

Can I get one in 30-30?

[Portnoy001]

I have my doubts this will catch on. I remember when the AN-94 was supposed to be a big deal.

[Arlis]

7.62 is 30 cal - and so is .30-06 and .308 - but 30 cal comes in many different cartridges/power combos.......

[LibWhacker]

Thanks, you’ve answered the question I was just about to ask. Another POS from the communist bloc.

[When do we get liberated?]

For the Russians, that sounds like 80 years of progress...
