Actually, most AK-47s are made in China these days.
It's such a simple, yet extremely reliable design, that if I had to choose between Kalashnikov and any American equivalent, I would always go for the cheap Chinese copy. Then again, somewhere in Finnish ground, there is a neat hole, where my sniper rifle (Arctic Warfare, the older model) resides. I don't like being too close to my targets... ;o)
Serbia, Romania, Russia, Bulgaria,China and soon Israel will produce them for the U.S. market. So there are more than just Russia although they designed them. From my experience with them many years ago? Piece of junk.
