_________________________________________________
The AKM (Russian: Автомат Калашникова Модернизированный; Avtomat Kalashnikova Modernizirovanniy or "automatic rifle Kalashnikov modernized") is a 7.62mm assault rifle designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is an upgraded version of the AK-47 rifle and was developed in the 1950s.
Introduced into service with the Red Army in 1959, the AKM is the most ubiquitous 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 many African and Asian allies. The production of these Soviet rifles was carried out at both the Tula Arsenal and Izhevsk Mechanical Works. It was officially replaced in Soviet service by the AK-74 in the late 70s, but remains in use worldwide.

Rugged rifles with bad stocks. Very photogenic, though. L-stocks are better than T-stocks since they offer a better cheekweld (still not perfect, but better). Those nasty under-folders are just trash, though. The Russians got that idea from the Germans and it wasn't a good design when they did it either. You can wrap any of those stocks in paracord or you can put adapters on them. Nowadays, you can get aftermarket Western-style adjustable stocks that replace AKMS-type under-folders. They attach the same way but don't fold, so you lose the compactness (which is only good for storage purposes).
