Far too basic for most enthusiasts. *by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2017* This book is a VERY basic introduction to the AK platform. Half of the book expounds on competing platforms (AR-15, HK's, etc.) instead of focusing on the topic at hand. It comes off as filler material. This is less of a "guide" than a very basic overview of the various models that were available at the time of publication. I was disappointed. It should be titled "A Basic Introduction to the AK and SKS".The book also details steps to build your own AK from a parts kit. Unfortunately the author omits critical details (like rivet setting, for example) that are crucial to any quality build. Again, a basic overview but not thorough or complete. There are better guides available online or via companies like the American Gunsmithing Institute that are far better. Even coverage of the SKS is rudimentary at best.I would not recommend this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Okay book, but short and dated. *by L***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015* It wasn't up to the level that Mr. Sweeny has shown in his several books on the AR rifles. It seems that he believes that every single AK-47 is made differently from every other AK, so there isn't much to say about them. Fortunately, my WASR-10 is pretty much the same model that he used to show disassembly instructions for. The SKS was definitely short-changed in the book, with only one article about it. The book IS dated and another book about now would show a lot of changes in the world of the AKs. A good book to have, but it could have been better. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An imperfect gem with lots of great info *by Q***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2009* I would have given 5 stars if this book had an index, a glossary and if it had been proofread better. Many, many typos that make you wonder why a simple spell checker wasn't used. Also, the author's writing style turned me off at first but as I came to the realization that he knows his stuff I liked it better. It's almost like sitting down with an expert and shooting the bull - not polished, not perfectly organized but you sure learn a lot. A glossary would have helped with his terminology, google will help of course.All that aside, this is a perfect first book on the AK that is up to date plus it gives you a little on its kissin' cousin the SKS.
