About Us

AK47 Buyers Guide is the place to learn how to buy and build an AK47 and every Kalashnikov: receivers, parts kits, magazines, bayonets, ammo and compliance. The history and collector side lives on its sister site, AK-47.us, which started in December 2002 as one of the first AK sites built by Gun Websites.

AK47 Buyers Guide is part of the Gun Websites Firearms Network. Gun Websites has been building gun sites online since 2004 and creates 2A awareness through online communities, the Daily Gun Show podcast, gun shop tours, videos, photos and 2A history projects. The Gun Websites crew has attended SHOT Show every year since 2005.
