It also has a reputation for being one of the most reliable semi-automatic rifles on the planet, and for this reason, alone many American shooters will opt for an AK 47 over an AR. The vast majority of AKs are manufactured overseas, and the overall quality of the rifle can be largely dependent on its country of origin. This is because AKs tend to be produced at a higher or lower quality depending on where they come from.

When you buy an AK or AKM rifle , you will have to choose between a milled or a stamped receiver model. An AK 47 with a milled receiver means that the receiver is machined by the manufacturer from a solid piece of steel. As a result, stamped receivers will have rivets , which makes them easy to differentiate from milled receiver models.
But which is better? While both work, a stamped receiver AK is generally regarded as being the superior weapon. This is because the AK was originally designed to be produced with a stamped receiver, to begin with. Milled receivers are sturdier and more durable, but they also cost much more and are heavier as was noted previously. Surprisingly, Onokoy states that some of the worst AKs in the world are produced in the most economically and technologically advanced country in the world - the United States.
He names the company Inter Ordnance as the worst AK producer Among its many minuses, he names crooked barrels, weak bolts and poor assembly. Another negligent manufacturer turned out to be Century Arms, which also produces Kalashnikov assault rifles. Ethiopian assault rifles are characterized by low corrosion resistance, low-quality deformed rivets and low-quality plastic.
Pakistani AKs are considered to be the worst, as they are mostly produced in small villages with basic toolsmiths.

Its Russian name is Avtomat Kalashnikova -- also known simply as the Kalashnikov. It was named for its inventor, Senior Sergeant Mikhail Kalashnikov. According to legend, he admired the weapons made by the Nazis. After five years of engineering, the former agricultural engineer made his famous weapon. It was based on a number of other designs floating around at the time, mostly Germany's Sturmgewehr Called StG for short, the Sturmgewehr was the first real mid-range infantry rifle. It didn't shoot a heavy round but could still lay down heavy fire.
The AK was designed to do the same. But the true brilliance of Kalashnikov's invention was in its simplicity. It was designed for all-around ease of use: easy to repair, easy to unjam if it ever does , easy to maintain. If a round is chambered in an AK, chances are good that weapon is going to fire. His creation was so simple and dependable that the Soviet Union began exporting the weapon en masse.
The country made so much money from exporting the weapon that Kalashnikov received special treatment in the USSR and later Russia for the rest of his life.
