The Official Soviet AKM Manual: Operating Instructions for the 7.62mm Modernized Kalashnikov Rifle (AKM and AKMS)

Arrived damaged a little but great read

Copy was not very clear and hard to read.

If you own an AK type rifle this book is great. Basically a military manual on the weapon and it's accessories. Not a lot of the gun's specifics though. For example, the M-16/M-4 rifle manuals would tell you muzzle velocity, maximum range, etc. That's the only information I would have like to have seen added. That's about the only thing missing here.

I'm an advocate for AK's. So, use your best judgment. Its mostly historical junk, but some red army maneuvers. Not a lot of intrinsic detail on the AK.

With the internet being so accessible and so much info on it, youtube and other websites alike you really don't need a manual but it is still useful as a means to learn about your rifle. I like it also just for the sake of it being a paper manual and seeing illustrations in spirit to where the rifle came from. To see the training of leading parachuting targets and etc. Not necessary but still interesting to read on.
