This pre-owned AK still worked when taken off a poacher in Africa

I wonder who was stupid enough to find that out?

I was asked the same question when I test fired a hand made / home made Kyber Pass AK !!

It worked just fine. On full auto

I've seen some of the Pakistani/Kyber Pass back yard rifles, and I certainly wouldn't mind having a couple of 'em in my cabinet. Them's definitely not Holland and Holland quality, but I've seen a lot worse.

Seen a few Khyber Pass AKM's where they have even copied the Izhmash Arsenal stamp and Cyrillic selector markings.

Milled receivers rule, your stamped metal AKMs would have dissolved by now in the same "storage" circumstances as the one in the link.

The Khyber I tested was a milled receiver - though milling was an overstatement. It had no blueing.

It was a "homage" to the short SU.

It was marked "shourt special" and "automatik" and "7.65mm" ( but was definately 7.62x39 )

When I was doing land mine clearance in Cambodia, one of our guys put together an AK47 he made from bits and pieces he found with a metal detector in various minefields. It looked like hell of course, no wooden bits left, but it functioned just fine. Accuracy was - well, dismal.

How about the "44 Bore" AK's they knock up in Pakistan......

An AR would have turned to dust long before either the stamped or milled receiver!!!
