The Type 58 AK is a North Korean copy of the Soviet AK-47, manufactured starting in 1958. It was produced with minimal modifications, retaining the design of the original AK-47. North Korean-supplied Type 58 rifles were used by the North Vietnamese Army and Viet Cong forces, alongside Soviet and Chinese variants of the AK-47, contributing to the communist forces' firepower during the conflict.
HISTORY
After the Korean War (1950–1953), North Korea, allied with the Soviet Union, received military support that enabled the production of the Type 58 assault rifle, which began in 1958 using initially Soviet components. Around 800,000 Type 58s were produced before manufacturing shifted to the Type 68 in 1968 due to the increasing complexity of making the Type 58.
The Type 58, a licensed copy of the AK-47 with a milled receiver, featured identifying marks like a five-point star and was exported to countries such as Cuba and Vietnam in the 1960s. While the weapon had a firing rate of 600-650 RPM, its quality varied from average to poor, and early models lacked bayonet lugs.
North Korea manufactured the Type 58 in two factories (Factory 61 and Factory 65) and produced full wood-stock and under-folding-stock variants. The AK rifles were later supplemented by Type 63 and SKS rifles for the Labor-Farming Red Guard.
