This review is from: The Official Soviet AKM Manual (Paperback)

By David F Stevenson (Warwick, QLD, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Official Soviet AKM Manual (Paperback)
What can you say about this book except that is it is the most complete guide of the famous or infamous rifles the AKM. It is a must for any body that would like to know information about the AKM rifles and find out why they are one of the most wide used rifles in the world.
