It's an old AK from my attic, refurbished with a new seal kit etc. Added a Polish bakelite pistol grip from my spares box, and an underfolder which I also found up there and had never used. Then took to it with sandpaper, sanding sponge, wire wool, and brown and black enamel paints.

The AK-47 is a selective fire, gas operated 7.62x39mm assault rifle, first developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. The designation AK-47 stands for Kalashnikov automatic rifle, model of 1947 (Russian: Автомат Калашникова 47, tr. Avtomat Kalashnikova 47). It is therefore also known as Avtomat Kalashnikova (or simply 'AK'), Kalashnikov or Russian jargon Kalash).
