If you would like to use my pics on another website, please ask me first. As long as you give me credit, and are not making any cash off of it, then I dont care. It kind of pisses me off to find my pics on other websites, with some guy taking the credit for it. I should not have to explain the term "common courtesy"


Here are a bunch of AK pics that I have to share. These were mostly taken at a museum in Belgium.

As some assclown broke into my car the night before and stole my photolights, they didnt come out as well as I needed. Rather then the whole trip being a waste, I will share them here.

First are the Romanian guns.

Here is the AIR carbine. This one is 5.45-





Selector markings; This one has a 4 position trigger group with 3rd burst. Also notice the upturned carrier handle.




Special rear 400M rear site-


Romanian AKS-74, with the AIM 40MM (US 40MM) grenade launcher-


Close up of the launcher; You can see the AKS74s markings also. The trigger is the push button on the side near the barrel release. The safety is spring loaded, and you must push it forward and push the button. You also get a good look at the site for the launcher, which is a part of it.


The launcher attaches like a standard handguard-




RPKS-74

Here are two different versions. The top was made in 92. The 93 made version features a 4 position selector, a carry handle, flash hider, bakalite upper handguard, scope rail, and some other smaller differences.


Rear site-


1992 made weapon-




1993 made weapon-




AIMS (AKMS)-


Not sure why some Romanian guns have the arrow in triangle, while others do not.

NGMS

AK-74






AKS-74U

This one looks like it was made from Russian parts.








Yugoslavia
One of the problems Yugos have is the barrel. They are not chromed lined, and are often in horrible condition. Soldiers in the 3rd world or groups in the Former Yugoslavia dont really take care of their weapons like they should.

M70




Yugo guns have the serial number on the right side, rather then the left.



M70A

This one has a grenade launcher



M70B1

Sweet!!!!

Thanks Stottman

totally sweet!!!!!

saved those babies to hard drive.

thanks for the rpk and air pics!!! and the romy launcher.

the triangle may have to do with which of the three arsenals assembled the rifle...and i've also heard guys say that the triangle stamps were inspection/acceptance proofs.

my sar2 has a triangle 416 (iirc) stamped faintly on the left side of the receiver tin.

I've never seen the carry handle. Nice pics as always....thanks!

take care,
Tec

Added pics from DDR, Hungary, and Poland.
