Examples we've found of AK ammo and gear

a very rare Russian 4 Cell Magazine Pouch made to hold four 40 round RPK or AK-47 magazines. This original Russian pouch was made for issue during the Vietnam War. The dark green canvis material has brown leather pieces on the front and a lighter green set of canvis belt loops plus a carring strap on the backside. Our canvis pouch is in mint un-issued condition. Any RPK pouch is quite rare let along one in this condition

   NOT FOR SALE - A very rare Russian 4 Cell Magazine Pouch made to hold four 40 round RPK or AK-47 magazines. This original Russian pouch was made for issue during the Vietnam War. The dark green canvis material has brown leather pieces on the front and a lighter green set of canvis belt loops plus a carring strap on the backside. Our canvis pouch is in mint un-issued condition. Any RPK pouch is quite rare let along one in this condition


    NOT FOR SALE - The most common round for the AK series is the 7.62x39mm. This round falls between the 55gr 5.56x45mm and the standard 7.62x51mm FMJ rounds. That means that the deflection factor of the 55gr 5.56x45mm round and the heavy recoil and possible over penetration of the standard 7.62x51mm cartridge at close range are overcome. This doesn't mean that the 123gr 7.62x39mm round will not deflect or that it will not over penetrate but it does mean that it will not go to either extreme as the previously mentioned rounds.
