Also note this rifle is fitted w/an early "slabside" magazine, which is smooth on the sides, later mags had vertical strengthening ribs added. Here you cans ee the milled receiver (of very high quality), milled lightening cut, the selector/safety is in the "safe" position which covers the carrier slot & keeps dirt out of the action.
#Ak 47 bayonet value full
It's possible some very early TIII's were originally fitted w/hardwood furniture but the majority used a full laminate stock set. TypeI & II's used hardwood furniture mainly (in orig mfg), the I was a different type, the II & III were similiar & could be used on each (w//mods & fitting), the TypeIII has no butt swivel, it was mounted to the left rear of the receiver (TI & II had butt swivels), a few AK47N TIII guns were made w/butt swivels as the scope mounting plate displaced the rear swivel. The blade appears to be the Tokarev SVT40 style w/a new pommel/hilt, the scabbard is also very similiar to the SVT40 later type.Ī view of the buttplate (stamped steel) showing the round spring-loaded trapdoor, a cylindrical tool/cleaning kit fit into a hollow under the door. I believe this model bayonet will also fit the TypeI & II AK's, it fits on my TypeII kit. Here's a pic w/the original Type1 AK47 bayonet (Soviet designation 56-X-212 re: Ivie, Kalashnikov bayonets), they're very distinctive from the later AKM bayonets, they have lg ears that go around the barrel & the latch is way forward under the front sight base.
The TypeIII used a full milled receiver, note the lightening cuts over the mag well, smooth top covers, blued finishes, bright bolts & laminate stocks, upper/lower handguards & grips. It's an exact duplicate of a Soviet TypeIII except for the markings, this rifle is fitted w/an original Soviet laminate TypeIII furniture set.Īlbum by willyp.
