AK-47 Assault Rifle

A Soviet-designed, gas-operated, magazine-fed assault rifle with a calibre of 7.62 millimetres, used for automatic or semiautomatic fire.:

The AK-47 was originally equipped with a buttstock, handguard and an upper heat guard made from solid wood. With the introduction of the Type 3 receiver the buttstock, lower handguard and upper heat guard were manufactured from birch plywood laminates  Such engineered woods are stronger and resist warping better than the conventional one-piece patterns, do not require lengthy maturing, and are cheaper. The wooden furniture was finished with the Russian amber shellac finishing process.
