The History Behind the AKMS
The AKMS is a folding-stock variant of the iconic AK-47, developed in the early 1950s to serve Soviet paratroopers and mobile infantry. Designed for enhanced portability without sacrificing reliability, the AKMS features a stamped steel receiver and a robust underfolding metal stock.
Deployed widely by Warsaw Pact nations and Soviet allies, the AKMS became a battlefield staple due to its rugged design, ease of use, and legendary reliability. It remains one of the most recognizable and respected military rifles in the world.
