As you well know, I am very interested in AK rifles, their history and how they are evolving. In September 2018, Kalashnikov Concern released a very interesting video that shows you some of their early AK variants.
In the video, Vladimir Onokay, a technical consultant with the Kalashnikov Concern, will show some unique AKs manufactured in 1948 at the Izhevsk motorcycle factory as well as models produced until the 1950s.
Please note that the following video is hosted in Russia and you may need to let it buffer a bit for smooth viewing. It’s just over 4 minutes long and any student of the AK design will find it very interesting.
