Looks in this cool modified AKM in Idlib it intended to represent an KMS -74
so has a new MUZZLE DEVICE
FOLDING STOCK TRUNNION
and HANDGUARD also known as the forent or forearm
I think it's neat .
Okey now I told you What is the difference between an AK-47 and an AKM?
AKM has a modified firing mechanism, whose chief component of note, is a hammer retarder to prevent the firing pin going forward until the shell is entirely in the breech. This is by far the most important difference, because the AK 47 was actually a fairly dangerous and unreliable tool, until this modification was introduced. Out-of-breech shell detonations were not at all uncommon - indeed they remain a problem in poorly-maintained examples of AK-based rifles, to this day. Their poor reliability and need for constant maintenance is actually the main reason true AK 47s are so very rare, these days.
As to the oft-cited point about the receivers, in fact, the very first AK-47s also had stamped receivers - of a different design to that of the AKM. The original design was too hard to make to the correct tolerances, in the production plants where the weapons were being manufactured. The Milled receiver was a bit of a bodge, that arrose as a result of this discovery. It made the main-production model of the AK47 substantially heavier, than either its design prototype, or the AKM that succeeded it. The need for milling machines also tied down the production lines required to make parts for the SKS, which was then still the mainstay rifle of the Sovet Army.
Another difference, is the characteristic angled muzzle-break, that is unique the the AKM. It is not found on all examples of the AKM, but remains, however, one of the easiest ways the recognise an AKM, as opposed to any other AK-series rifle.
Its purpose is to direct some of the muzzle gases upwards and to the right in order to steady the weapon in the hands of a right-handed firer during use.
As such, it must be wound on with an anti-clockwise thread since its action would otherwise tend to perpetually cause it to unscrew. To my knowledge, the AKM’s barrel is the only AK barrel to feature such a left-handed thread for its muzzle-break. An adapter nut can be fitted to other rifles, but they don’t work very well because of the tendency to unwind.
