...what in the hell kind of AK is pictured in the forum icon in the upper left-hand corner of this page?

Late prototype for the AK-47, built around '46-'47 or so I think.

I agree with Templar.  I belive it is a 1947g

Looks like a standard production'49-'51
"Type I" to me...
or at least the B&W pic Ken posted does...
Notice the gas tube retainer is turned passed it's normal spot, and the re-arsenal stamp on the buttstock...

looks like the typical chi-com to me. the grip angle is all wrong for an early rus.

Campy, that is the correct grip angle for a Russian TypeI AK-47.... I have a set of those original phenolic grips sitting right here if you want me to measure the angles ;)

that mag looks more like a 45 round 5.45 to me. almost straight insead of the curved 7.62 kind. who knows maybe it's just a photoshop made up AK.

Again, that mag is all Type I AK-47, it is a steel slabside mag...no real mystery here...
and no the gun is not a photoshop gun!
Please grab your Small Arms of the World by Ezell, 12th revised edition, and turn to page 37 where you will see where this picture was scanned from.

...who cares.


gee I was just putting in my 2 cents in reaponse to ClarenceDammit orginal question post:

"what in the hell kind of AK is pictured in the forum icon in the upper left-hand corner of this page?"

isn't what you guys did to his post called "hijacking"?
11/9/2003 11:27:13 PM EDT
[#10]
Don't know what hijacking a post means, but I appologize for my spunky attitude regarding the original question...it is unlike me to 'snap' to antagonist mode... didn't mean anything personal...
