Description
1954 Kalashnikov Type 2 AK-47
Type 2 Milled Receiver
1 x magazine
Butt stock is not original
Buyer to take over storage with dealer or transfer to their own dealer.
Some Background
The first production models had stamped sheet metal receivers with a milled trunion and butt stock insert, and a stamped body. Difficulties were encountered in welding the guide and ejector rails, causing high rejection rates. Instead of halting production, a heavy machined receiver was substituted for the sheet metal receiver. Even though production of these milled rifles started in 1951, they were officially referred to as AK-49, based on the date their development started, but they are much widely known in the collectors' and current commercial market as "Type 2 AK-47".
