Specifications

The AKM (Russian:, tr. Avtomát Kalášnikova modernizírovannyj, lit. ‘Kalashnikov’s Automatic Rifle Modernised’) is an assault rifle designed by Soviet small arms designer Mikhail Kalashnikov in 1959. It is the most ubiquitous rifle of the Kalashnikov rifles. It was developed as replacement to AK-47 introduced a decade prior.

Introduced into service with the Soviet Army in 1959, the AKM is the most prevalent variant of the entire AK series of firearms and it has found widespread use with most member states of the former Warsaw Pact and its African and Asian allies as well as being widely exported and produced in many other countries. The production of these rifles was carried out at both the Tula Arms Plant and Izhmash. It was officially replaced in Soviet frontline service by the AK-74 in the late 1970s, but remains in use worldwide.

The AKM maintains the AK-47’s wood stock, but has simpler individual parts that are favorable for mass production. Like the AK-47, many variants of the AKM exist such as the AKMS, AKML, and AKMP.

The AK is one of the most popular blasters around, if you’re an enthusiast or purchasing your first gel blaster, this is a great blaster to have in your collection.

Please note this product is a Toy.

Please note: This product contains timber (wood) as part of it’s design. Timber, being a natural product, does not always provide a 100% smooth and consistent finish and may have irregularities dues to grain direction, knot imperfections and general “softness” of timber, which makes it prone to marking easily. Also, in our harsh Australian climate, products containing timber should be stored out of direct sunlight, away from extremes in temperature fluctuations and protected from excessive exposure to humidity.

Care should be taken to keep timber in it’s best condition, timber needs to be maintained and “fed” using suitable timber oils, without any colourant of pigment, we suggest using Abbey Gun Solutions – Stock Finish. Click image below to add to your order.
