Notably, the AK-47's milled steel receiver was replaced by a U-shaped steel stamping. As a result of these modifications, the AKM's weight was reduced by ≈ 1 kg (2.2 lb), the accuracy during automatic fire was increased and several reliability issues were addressed. The AK-47's chrome-lined <a href="/wiki/Gun_barrel" title="Gun barrel">barrel</a> was retained, a common feature of Soviet weapons which resists wear and corrosion, particularly under harsh field conditions and near-universal Eastern Bloc use of corrosively primed ammunition. The AKM's <a href="/wiki/Receiver_(firearms)" title="Receiver (firearms)">receiver</a> is stamped from a smooth 1.0 mm (0.04 in) <a href="/wiki/Sheet_metal" title="Sheet metal">sheet</a> of <a href="/wiki/Steel" title="Steel">steel</a>, compared with the <a href="/wiki/AK-47" title="AK-47">AK-47</a> where the receiver was machined from a solid block of steel. A rear stock trunnion and forward barrel trunnion are fastened to the U-shaped receiver using <a href="/wiki/Rivets" class="mw-redirect" title="Rivets">rivets</a>. The receiver housing also features a rigid tubular cross-section support that adds structural strength. Guide rails that assist the bolt carrier's movement which also incorporates the ejector are installed inside the receiver through <a href="/wiki/Spot_welding" title="Spot welding">spot welding</a>. As a weight-saving measure, the stamped receiver cover is of thinner gauge metal than that of the AK-47. In order to maintain strength and durability it employs both longitudinal and latitudinal reinforcing ribs. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Barrel">Barrel</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=AKM&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Barrel">edit</a>]</div> The AKM has a barrel with a <a href="/wiki/Chrome_plating" title="Chrome plating">chrome-lined</a> bore and four right-hand grooves at a 240 mm (1 in 9.45 in) or 31.5 calibers <a href="/wiki/Rifling#Twist_rate" title="Rifling">rifling twist rate</a>. The forward barrel trunnion has a non-threaded socket for the barrel and a transverse hole for a pin that secures the barrel in place. The AKM's barrel is installed in the forward trunnion and pinned (as opposed to the AK-47, which has a one piece receiver with integral trunnions and a barrel that is screwed-in). Additionally the barrel has horizontal guide slots that help align and secure the handguards in place. To increase the weapon's accuracy during automatic fire, the AKM was fitted with a slant cut <a href="/wiki/Muzzle_brake" title="Muzzle brake">compensator</a> that helps redirect expanding propellant gases upward and to the right during firing, which mitigates the <a href="/wiki/Muzzle_climb" class="mw-redirect" title="Muzzle climb">rise of the muzzle</a> during an automatic burst when held by a right-handed firer. The compensator is threaded on to the end of the barrel with a left-hand thread. Not all AKMs have slant compensators; some were also fitted with the older muzzle nut which came from the AK-47. Most AKMs with muzzle nuts were older production models. The AKM's slant compensator can also be used on the AK-47, which had a simple nut to cover the threads. <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:AK-Bolt-Carrier-Bolt-and-Gas_piston.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/AK-Bolt-Carrier-Bolt-and-Gas_piston.jpg/78px-AK-Bolt-Carrier-Bolt-and-Gas_piston.jpg" decoding="async" width="78" height="311" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/AK-Bolt-Carrier-Bolt-and-Gas_piston.jpg/117px-AK-Bolt-Carrier-Bolt-and-Gas_piston.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/fc/AK-Bolt-Carrier-Bolt-and-Gas_piston.jpg/156px-AK-Bolt-Carrier-Bolt-and-Gas_piston.jpg 2x" data-file-width="279" data-file-height="1113" /></a><figcaption>AKM Bolt carrier assembly and gas piston</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Gas_block">Gas block</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=AKM&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Gas block">edit</a>]</div> The gas block in the AKM does not have a cleaning rod capture or sling loop but is instead fitted with an integrated <a href="/wiki/Bayonet" title="Bayonet">bayonet</a> support collar that has a cleaning rod guide hole. The forward sling loop was relocated to the front handguard retainer cap. The handguard retainer also has notches that determine the position of the handguards on the barrel. The AKM's laminated wood handguards have lateral grooves that help securely grip the rifle. Gas relief ports that alleviate gas pressure in the piston cylinder (placed horizontally in a row on the gas cylinder in the AK-47) were moved forward to the gas block and placed in a radial arrangement. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Bolt_carrier_assembly">Bolt carrier assembly</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=AKM&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Bolt carrier assembly">edit</a>]</div> The AKM's bolt carrier has a lightening cut milled into the right side halfway before the handle. The handle has its profile slimmed down too. The stem of the AKM bolt is fluted in another measure to help reduce weight. The round, fluted firing pin of the AK-47 was also replaced with a flat one on the AKM. All pieces are typically painted black instead of left unfinished ("in the white"). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Stock">Stock</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=AKM&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Stock">edit</a>]</div> The buttstock, lower handguard and upper headguard are manufactured from <a href="/wiki/Birch" title="Birch">birch</a> <a href="/wiki/Plywood" title="Plywood">plywood</a> <a href="/wiki/Laminates" class="mw-redirect" title="Laminates">laminates</a> like the later model AK-47 furniture.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> Such engineered woods are stronger and resist warping better than the conventional one-piece patterns, do not require lengthy maturing, and are cheaper. The wooden buttstock used in the AKM is further hollowed in order to reduce weight and is longer and straighter than that of the AK-47, which assists accuracy for subsequent shots during rapid and automatic fire. The wooden stock also houses the issued cleaning kit, which is a small diameter metal tube with a twist lock cap. The kit normally contains the cleaning jag to which a piece of cloth material is wrapped around and dipped into cleaning solution. It also contains a pin punch, an assembly pin to hold the trigger, disconnector and rate reducer together while putting these back into the receiver after cleaning the weapon, and a barrel brush. The kit is secured inside the butt stock via a spring-loaded trapdoor in the stock's pressed sheet metal butt cap. The stock is socketed into a stepped shaped rear trunnion with single upper tang and two screws. The rear trunnion itself is held to the stamped receiver with four rivets (two on each side). Under folding models instead have a U-shaped rear trunnion that reinforces the locking arms and is held to the receiver with six rivets (see <a href="#Variants">Variants</a> for more info). <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Recoil/return_spring_assembly">Recoil/return spring assembly</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=AKM&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Recoil/return spring assembly">edit</a>]</div> The AKM uses a modified recoil/return spring mechanism, which replaces the telescoping recoil spring guide rod with a dual U-shaped wire guide. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Trigger_assembly">Trigger assembly</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=AKM&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Trigger assembly">edit</a>]</div> The AKM has a modified trigger assembly, equipped with a hammer-release delaying device (installed on the same axis pin together with the trigger and disconnector) commonly called a "rate reducer" or "hammer retarder" (<a href="/wiki/Russian_language" title="Russian language">Russian</a>: замедлитель срабатывания курка). In fact its primary purpose is not to reduce the rate of automatic fire; it is a safety device to ensure the weapon will only fire on automatic when the bolt is fully locked, as the hammer is tripped by the bolt carrier's last few millimetres of forward movement. The device also reduces "trigger slap" or "trigger bounce" and the weapon's rate of fire, which also reduces the dispersion of bullets when firing in fully automatic mode. The hammer was also changed and equipped with a protrusion that engages the rate reducer and the trigger has only one notched hammer release arm (compared with two parallel arms in the AK-47).<a href="#cite_note-e36-6">[6]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sights">Sights</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=AKM&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Sights">edit</a>]</div> The AKM's notched rear tangent <a href="/wiki/Iron_sight" class="mw-redirect" title="Iron sight">iron sight</a> is calibrated in 100 m (109 yd) increments from 100 to 1,000 m (109 to 1,094 yd) and compared with the AK-47 the leaf's position teeth that secure the sliding adjustable notch were transferred over from the right to the left edge of the ramp. The front sight is a post adjustable for elevation in the field and has a slightly different shape with the "ears" being angled with the back of the base instead of strait and its bottom portion is more narrow compared with the AK-47. Horizontal adjustment requires a special drift tool and is done by the armoury before issue or if the need arises by an armourer after issue. The sight line elements are approximately 48.5 <a href="/wiki/Millimetre" title="Millimetre">mm</a> (1.9 <a href="/wiki/Inch" title="Inch">in</a>) over the bore axis. The "<a href="/wiki/Point-blank_range" title="Point-blank range">point-blank range</a>" battle zero setting "П" on the 7.62×39mm AKM rear tangent sight element corresponds to a 300 m (328 yd) zero.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTERottman201142-7">[7]</a> For the AKM combined with service cartridges the 300 m battle zero setting limits the <a href="/wiki/External_ballistics#Bullet_drop" title="External ballistics">apparent "bullet rise"</a> within approximately −5 to +31 cm (−2.0 to 12.2 in) relative to the line of sight. Soldiers are instructed to fire at any target within this range by simply placing the sights on the center of mass (the belt buckle, according to Russian and former Soviet doctrine) of the enemy target.

The metal stock of the AKMS is somewhat different from the folding stock of the previous AKS-47 model as it has a modified locking mechanism, which locks both support arms of the AKMS stock instead of just one (left arm) as in the AKS-47 folding model. It is also made of riveted steel pressings, instead of the milled versions of most AKS-47s, and is more inline like the fixed stock AKM. Due to the stamped receiver, it also has a reinforcement plate beneath the pistol grip spot welded in place to prevent damage to the receiver if the gun is dropped on its pistol grip as well as better absorb the recoil with the stock folded. The AKM was produced in the following versions: AKMP, AKML and AKMLP, whereas the AKMS led to the following models – AKMSP, AKMSN and AKMSNP. It is designed especially for use by paratroopers–as the folding stock permits more space for other equipment when jumping from a plane and then landing. The AKMP rifle uses subdued <a href="/wiki/Radium" title="Radium">radium</a>-illuminated aiming points integrated into the front and rear sight. These sights enable targets to be engaged in low-light conditions, e.g. when the battlefield is illuminated with flares, fires or muzzle flashes or when the target is visible as a shadow against an illuminated background. The sliding notch on the sight arm is then moved to the “S” setting (which corresponds to the “3” setting in the AKM). The sight itself is guided on the sliding scale and has a socket, which contains a tritium gas-filled capsule directly beneath the day-time notch. The tritium front post installs into the front sight base using a detent and spring. The AKML comes equipped with a side-rail used to attach a <a href="/wiki/Night_vision_device" class="mw-redirect" title="Night vision device">night vision device</a>. The mount comprises a flat plate riveted to the left wall of the receiver housing and a support bracket fixed to the mounting base with screws. To shield the light-sensitive photo detector plate of the night vision sight, the weapon uses a slotted <a href="/wiki/Flash_suppressor" title="Flash suppressor">flash suppressor</a>, which replaces the standard recoil compensator. The AKML can also be deployed in the prone position with a detachable barrel-mounted <a href="/wiki/Bipod" title="Bipod">bipod</a> that helps stabilise the weapon and reduces operator fatigue during prolonged periods of observation. The bipod is supplied as an accessory and is carried in a holster attached to the duty belt. The AKMN comes equipped with a side-rail used to attach a night vision device. The model designated AKMN-1 can thus mount the multi-model night vision scope <a href="/wiki/1PN51" title="1PN51">1PN51</a><a href="#cite_note-1pn51manual-20">[20]</a> and the AKMN2 the multi-model night vision scope <a href="/wiki/1PN58" title="1PN58">1PN58</a>.<a href="#cite_note-1pn58manual-21">[21]</a> The AKMLP is a version of the AKML with tritium sights (as in the AKMP). The AKMSP rifle is based on the folding stock AKMS variant but fitted with tritium night sights, as in the AKMP. The AKMSN model is derived from the AKMS and features an accessory rail used to mount a night vision sensor as seen on the AKML and additionally a flash hider and bipod. The left arm of the AKMSN's folding stock is bent outwards in order to avoid the sight mount bracket during folding and the sling loop was moved further to the rear. Similarly to the AKMN-1, the AKMSN-1 can mount the multi-model night vision scope 1PN51<a href="#cite_note-1pn51manual-20">[20]</a> and the AKMSN2 the multi-model night vision scope 1PN58.<a href="#cite_note-1pn58manual-21">[21]</a> A version of the AKMSN additionally supplied with factory tritium night sights is called the AKMSNP.

In the West, one fires a group of shots into the target and then simply measures the overall diameter of the group. The Russians, on the other hand, fire a group of shots into the target. They then draw two circles on the target, one for the maximum vertical dispersion of hits and one for the maximum horizontal dispersion of hits. They then disregard the hits on the outer part of the target and only count half of the hits (50% or R50) on the inner part of the circles. This dramatically reduces the overall diameter of the groups. They then use both the vertical and horizontal measurements of the reduced groups to measure accuracy. This <a href="/wiki/Circular_error_probable" title="Circular error probable">circular error probable</a> method used by the Russian and other European militaries cannot be converted and is not comparable to US military methods for determining rifle accuracy.
