The Rifle in the Logo

Every site starts somewhere.AK-47.us started with one rifle.

1After the SKS

The rifle in the logo was the first AK bought for the collection, after a run of SKS rifles.

It was an instant favorite.

2Speed Holes

Changing the stock has always been part of owning an AK.

Back then, aftermarket stocks were scarce, and too expensive anyway.

So the stock got a drill: a row of “speed holes” to give the rifle a look of its own.

3The Photo

The logo picture was taken one day with an early digital camera, against a camouflage backdrop.

It became the face of AK-47.us.

4The First of Many

That rifle was shot often and enjoyed every time.

It became the first of many AKs, and the first page of a network.
