^Somewhere between those two figures. 870; 8,700; somewhere in there.

I'm going to have to estimate somewhere north of potato.

Maybe close to the AR #
Until recently they were relatively cheap for the average guy to buy. Where AR's only recently dipped below the $1k price mark.
Youd have to go back to early 80's to have AR prices at what an AK was at 5 years ago (4-500)

Maybe 20 ak47s and probably not any AK74s

More like 870,000.
There were actually 87,000,000 back in the day, but after the great flood, we had to start from scratch.

Everyone wants to know how many _____ there are, us so we can gloat, and them so they can panic about it. Let's count, I have...uh...three.

Not enough, that's for sure. Seems everything is drying up, kits with barrels gone and now having to pay twice as much for a good rifle. It sucks.
Still don't understand how a hardened steel core M855 is exempt from importation but soft steel core Russian 74 ammo isn't. Maybe a letter sent to the tech department to ask this very question?

1,249,667 last I check. Combined 47 and 74.

Would have to have been imported before GCA '68. Unless converted, which I'm not counting as a "real" one.

I know for a fact that there are at least 5.

I can account for 9 of them.

Twice as many as half of them.

700 or 800 I forget.

By my incredibly scientific calculations, I'd say there are 2/3 as many AKs as there are AR15 variants.

If they could ban m855 they would. It and m2 armor piercing are specifically protected by the same law that gives the authority to ban the others.

Those are the legal ones. Add to that a bunch illegally brought in by various leftist groups and the Russian Cartels operating with and without the Mexican and S. American Cartels.

Somehow, after 13+ yrs of the GWOT, I bet there are more UNpapered fullauto AK's here than there are legal ones.
And that's fine by me.

I know people who still have dozens of barreled parts kits in boxes in there garages, bought cheap just because in case.
AK's are going to be common in America for the next hundred years, imo.
