AK 74/ AK47
I have an AK that has been painted. I would like to strip it down and refinish. The weapon shoots perfectly. It is pre ban and I believe it is a 74.. Am I right in assuming it is an ak74 because it is a 5.56?/.223 x 39? How would I determine otherwise? It has steel mags..
Any info would be appreciated.

It would be best if you could post quality photos of it, specially of all the markings.
The early import Chinese AK's in 223/5.56 X 45, weren't considered to be AK 74's.
In the last 5/10 years everybody and their brother have been making AK variants in this country. No telling what you have, if your talking about one of those. That's why we need the quality photos.
EDIT #1, Your photo(s) aren't visible.
This is the error message I got when I clicked on your link.

Not Mobuck, but your picture indicates 5.56 X 45 which is .223 Remington or 5.56 NATO.
Good luck. [:)]0 -
Your AK 47 is a Chinese commercial build, in 223/5.56 X 45. Made for export and sale to the U.S.. During the mid to late 1980's.
The confusing thing is that many hobbyists over the years, using aftermarket parts, have built them into cosmetic replicas of the AK 74.
Here is a photo off the net showing the receiver and markings of a authentic Soviet AK 74. Compare them to yours.0 -
That's the problem with using anything other than AK "type" in the description.AK 47 is 7.62x39 and AK74 is 5.45x39. Other calibers aren't really either model. 0 -
Thank you guys,,,, It looks like the Receiver is a tiny bit different then the AK74. One pin seems to not be on my gun compared to Rufe's..It does say, DAL TX on the side so I assumed it was imported. 0 -
