However, if you are looking for a dependable high capacity, short range hunting rifle for small to medium game animals like wild hogs, there is no other system more rugged or affordable. If you are looking for a tack driver, this certainly isn't it. All this comes at a price as the AK-47 is not renown for it's precision. Horizontal guide rails welded to the receiver guide the travel of the bolt assembly.Īlong with its generous clearance between moving parts and tapered cartridge case, the gun has been engineered to endure large amounts of fouling and brutal punishment while continuing to cycling consistently and reliably. The recoil spring is conventionally located behind the bolt carrier. The bolt has a deeply recessed face and a massive claw extractor, and a fixed-blade ejector is welded to the left-hand wall of the receiver.
Two horizontally opposed lugs on the bolt body lock up in corresponding locking recesses in a barrel block that is housed in the stamped steel receiver. A fixed cam on the bolt rides in a kidney-shaped groove in the underside of the carrier that rotates the bolt in and out of battery. The bolt carrier and piston are a one-piece unit. As a result, the force of the gas pushes back this large, heavy chunk of steel to rotate and unlock the dual-lugged bolt from its locking recesses to cycle the action. This gas impacts against the forward face of a large gas piston, which is affixed directly to the bolt carrier assembly.
A gas port in the barrel, located at the 45-degree-angled gas block roughly 2 inches forward of the handguard, taps gas off the bore when a cartridge is fired.
Completed in 1947 and adopted into Soviet military service in 1949 as the "7.62mm Kalashnikov assault rifle" (or "AK"), the design was neither pioneering nor altogether new technology.Īt the heart of the design is its Kalashnikov long stroke gas piston system. The AK-47 rifle was invented by legendary Soviet weapons designer Mikhail Kalashnikov. Low prices on the Century Arms M70 AB2 Under Folder AK-47 start at Champion Firearms.
