Does anybody know which type # of milled underfolder AK this is?

I mean this is going to be super difficult to tell by this picture alone

 

[GUNSICK]

Type III AKS-47, probably Chinese or Russian.

It's obviously a Glock 47. I seen one on MSNBC.

I'd like them cow heads. They would be really neat hanging on the wall of my shed.

Chinese rifles are the most common so.....

Don't know much about AK's, even though I was in the receiving end of one of their outbursts. This subject caused me to remember one time long long ago, one of the AK's I looked at after an, engagement, appeared to have a receiver that was forged rather than stamped. Memory is not what it once was but at the time I am sure I thought it to be a Russian made weapon. Did they make some of these guns with forged receivers? It was the only one I ever saw like that.

The very first production AKs were stamped as was intended all along. However Russian industrial methods were better suited to machined forgings and the result was intractable delays in production. Russia reverted to a hastily redesigned forged receiver while they worked out the kinks in their stamping methods after which they switched back again to the stamped receiver. These later stamped guns were the AKMs. I believe that China went through the same process since they were initially using Russian tooling as well as Russian production engineers. Since an all steel milled gun is very robust, the milled AK47s will continue to turn up, probably for hundreds of years.

Thanks Pod, reaffirmation is a big deal at this stage of the game.

Found that clip of you back in the day. If it was milled and had a spike folding bayonet like the one in the video it was Chinese. Barnes was a prick and had it coming to him!

Wrong division.
