Pukhom, Misha.

Now perhaps the truth about Hugo Schmeisser's invovlement with the AK-47 will come to light.

So sad, he was one of my Heros, may he RIP.

His gun will long out live him

Even though he was the "enemy" for most of his life, and his namesake weapon system has been used against our troops since it's adoption by the Soviet Army in 1947, he deserves a place of honor in the annals of the greatest firearms inventors of all time.
He will forever be remembered by firearms enthusiasts as the inventor of the most prolific weapon platform of all time, and the man who has provided countless hours of range time for those of us who own his legacy firearm.
RIP Mikhail

Agreed

 

[Fordtough25]

Yes he did, love the AK type.

 

[indykid]

If you think he was an evil communist, you need to read up on his life. Would an "evil communist" be a lifetime member of the NRA and come to many of their conventions?

To the designer of the greatest homeland defense weapon of all times, rest in peace Comrade Kalashnikov.

 

[NyleRN]

Maybe our AK's will go up in value now?

 

[Killion]

His gun will long out live him

obviously!

 

[Dean C.]

Sad day for firearm lovers everywhere may his design live on

 

[Gluemanz28]

Who designed the sights on the side for the gansta's?

 

[Shoots4Fun]

Certainly a man that changed many countries and definitely history around the world over the last many years.

I love mine...RIP
