AK Review???

[Mortblanc]

They often buy barrel stock or salvage barrels from other rifles.

If turning the barrels from scratch they are drilled, reamed and then a "rifling broach", a type of reamer with the rifling twist cut in, is pulled through the barrel. That cuts the rifling into the bore.

The most variation one will see in AK weapons is the stocks. They come as fixed wooden versions as shown, but also in under-folding, side-folding and different shapes and colors in wood, Bakelite and polymer.

It does not matter what the stock looks like, they all operate the same.

I was at the range today and must return tomorrow, so I will take some photos of my own as I proceed to explain operation and handling.
