AK-47 Type III, circa 1954, Izhevsk Arsenal (SLR-100 based Replica) Our second "Builder's Showcase" displays an excellent Type 3 AK-47 built by Dean Davison. Dean has built some of the most beautifully crafted AK rifles I have ever seen, and specializes in the early style AK rifle. This rifle is just one of a number of his outstanding milled receiver rifle projects, but it serves as a great showcase of his knowledge and skills as a gunsmith. It is quite obvious that Dean has an eye for fine detail! Projects Page 26
