The AIR is mine, a deactivated weapon that I picked up not too long ago.
This one came from Austria (via InterOrdnance). They sell them in Germany also, though the deact specs are a little harsher.

They are Romanian. Very similar in size to the E.German, and very different from the Russian AKSU-74. The Bulgarian AKSU74 is a copy of the Russian design.

Maybe. I found it on some German auction site, and got it for allot cheaper then what they sell for in Germany. Think the guys last name was Turk or something like that.

I take it you are located in Europe?

There is a Russian RPKS-74 with a laminated wood folding stock pictured on pg 123 of "Kalashnikov: the Arms and the Man"... unless you're referring specifically to Romanian RPKS-74's.

Unless noted, the pics were taken in the basement of the Military history museum in Brussels Belguim. Its not open to the public. Inside the large gym sized bunker, they have everything from Browning's prototypes (from FN) to AKs, FG-42s, to MP-44s with the 1945 capture tags still on them.

How come all of the guns in the first pictures were so beat up? Couldn't the musuem or whatever take care of the weapons and keep them from rusting?

That has to be the most impressive and definitive collection of AK photos I've seen.

Seriously, thanks for sharing that.

Added pics of an RPK74, AKSU74, AK-74M, and a Bison (including some internal pics) that I took in 2003 in Russia.
