I know some about guns but very little about AK's, variants, etc. Recommend me some good books to get familiar with whats what with this rifle. Eager to learn all I can. Want good solid information. Thanks.

If wrong area please move.

By far and away, "The Grim Reaper" is the best AK book ever done.

It can still be found on Ebay, the gun auctions, and some book sellers.

Joe Poyer's book is a paper back and short, but has some good, basic info:

Gun Digest Books publish a couple of large paper backs on the AK and on assault rifles in general. These can be found in most book stores or at the online books sellers.

This is the book I have:
http://www.amazon.com/Small-arms-world-basic-manual/dp/0811715582/ref=pd_sim_sbs_b_3
I picked it up for $5 bucks a t gun show. It was printed in 1974 but the information in there is pretty cool. Covers a lot of guns, including the AK.

I may also have some pdf files on my computer, let me check and get back to you.
