Gun Digest Book of the AK & SKS, Volume II: Complete Guide to Guns, Gear and Ammunition

"Things that are complex are not useful. Things that are useful are simple." --Mikhail Kalashnikov

In Gun Digest Book of the AK & SKS, Volume 2, Patrick Sweeney picks up where Volume 1 left off and brings Kalashnikov's timeless firearm designs--the AK-47 and AK-74--plus their predecessor, Simonov's SKS, full circle into the modern era. In exhaustive detail and told in his own entertaining way, comrade Sweeney provides not only the historical perspective on these now-ubiquitous Russian guns, but also how to modernize and upgrade them for today's American-style tactical shooting.
