AKM Photos

New to my collection, at least until the owner gets his licence; a 1976 dated Tula AKM with plenty of character:

Under the bonnet:

More photos (but not my best work)

Wow very nice ! love the look of a AK with age .. does it have a fun switch?

Man, you really piss me off sometimes, Bas.

Nice score! I'm so green with envy I look like Kermit the Frog.

BTW, Do you guys have to deal with stupid magazine capacity restrictions down there?

You aren't forced to pin your magazines in your AK's or SKS's are you?

 

[bas]

Yes it does have the "fun switch" but like your grandfathered guns this one has to stay home.

MS, some people have to have their magazines cut down to 7 rounds, while others like myself don't have that restriction.

7+1 is still better then 5+1!!!

Not that's a pretty gun. If I could, I'd get my hands on an original NHM-91.

My moniker approves.

Then the anti's need to find softer, gentler forums to troll around in. The rest of us just get excited

I know. I showed it to my "anti" sister in law (C U Next Tuesday), she said "is that a glock"?

Great looking gun. Whats with the braided cable/wire inside the receiver? Whats its purpose?

That's a standard AK hammer/trigger spring. All AK's have a spring like that.

The VZ 58 also uses a braided wire spring for its hammer as well...

The full-auto ones are, the semi-auto Saiga and Norincos aren't.
