The Rifle in Miniature
This AK47 keychain is a small cast alloy model of the Kalashnikov rifle, with the outline most people recognise at a glance: curved magazine, gas tube over the barrel and long stock. It has a brushed gold finish and hangs from a steel split ring.
It is a decorative replica made from alloy, not a part of a real rifle and not made from a cartridge.
The Real AK-47
Mikhail Kalashnikov designed the rifle in the late 1940s, and the Soviet Army adopted it in 1949. It was built to be simple, cheap to make and reliable in mud, sand and cold, firing the 7.62x39mm intermediate cartridge. Tens of millions of AK-pattern rifles have been made since, which is why it is one of the most recognisable firearms in the world.
Want the Real Round?
Pair the replica with a genuine 7.62×39 AK47 cartridge keyring – in brass or the steel-cased Russian version. You can also see the steel round in our AK47 bullet keyring video. For something smarter, there are AK-47 bullet cufflinks made from real 7.62×39 casings.
