The AK-47 is a selective-fire, gas-operated 7.62x39mm assault rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. The designation AK-47 stands for Kalashnikov Automatic Rifle, 1947 Model (Russian: Автомат Калашникова 47, Avtomat Kalashnikova 47). It is officially known as Avtomat Kalashnikova. It is also known as a Kalashnikov, an "AK," or, in Russian jargon, Kalash.

  • They are jamo-o-matics. Heed experience of others, or buy one and find out yourself. I have had nothing but problems with Romanian AK's. Most AK's will give you problems, especially when you try to find a lot of magazines that will work in yours.

  • @LRRPFco52 I think you are wrong. I have 4 Romania ak's all shooting the cheapest online ammo with about 3000 rounds through each one with different mags and I have never had one jamb or malfunction. Even from a bad round! Most people don't know what they are talking about and spout off because of what someone else said. Romanians are fine for half the money. Only "call of dudy" 10 year olds think that.

  • Ammo is cheap?

    Where do you buy?

  • @Saigax12 cheaperthandirt . com I buy by the 1000. 500 is still cheap though.

  • 1. They are magazines, not clips.

    2. The sight adjustment tool is for windage, not elevation.

    3. It is called Wasser, not Warsaw.

    4. You can NOT cheaply convert it into a pistol. Essentially, under federal law, if it was imported as a rifle, it always will be a rifle. If you shorten the barrel, even with the buttstock removed, you could get in BIG trouble with the ATF for making a "short barreled rifle". That was their excuse for the assault on Randy Weaver.

  • @mrnickbig1 1. everyone knows

    2. it's also for elevation by threading in or out the front post.

    3. dialect can alter pronunciation

    4. to change it to a pistol in most states only takes an approval permit and a completed inspection to then register as a pistol.

  • they are magazines not clips buddy

  • I am seriously considering one of these from my local gun store. Got a mosin Nagant 91/30 and with it a lot of respect for the Russians and their ugy yet extremely reliable fireamr designs.
