143. Just like a Chevrolet Impala is a "clone" of a NASCAR race car.

They may look similar externally, but they are functionally not the same. Civilian AK's are built on civilian receivers, and use civilian bolt carriers and civilian fire-control parts. Functionally, a civilian AK is identical to a Ruger Mini Thirty intermediate-caliber deer rifle.

FWIW, I own a civilian AK derivative, and shoot competitively and recreationally with it. It works just like any other gas-operated civilian rifle.
