Look what I made for my cartography class:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&ie ... 44&t=h&z=3

(on the map page, read the description on the left side of the screen)

Let me know what everyone thinks. (I realize that it isn't 100% perfect, but nothing really is)

I give all of the credit to my AK forum brethren, from whom I have learned so much.

It is for a college course I am taking, so I had to do it, plus I got to look through a whole bunch of AK pictures in class!

P.S. - I just added Century Arms to the mix, I can't believe I forgot them.

Cool map. Dang, I didn't realize how close I was to the Sadu factory when I was in Sibiu, Romania. Looks like it was just 15-20km away. :sad:

Very cool map! I'm glad you got TurboThis on there, too. He does great work. It looks like you might have left off the CUGIR factory, though.

If you are including IMI, why not Vektor (currently Denel Land Systems) in South Africa? They made the R4 galil variant, which is kinda sorta an AK.....

Nope, its on there but I wasn't able to find the actual factory.

Do you know what city it was produced in? I'll add it to the map when I get a chance.

you are missing at least three maybe 4 or 5 african countries.

I know there are a few more that made AKs, but I really couldn't find any good info at all about them, plus they were never made in any great quantities to be widely recognizable.

Don't forget Wiselite Arms, also.

If you can post their address, I'll add them too.

Bread, thats very cool, I'll assume your teacher must be also.

She is an air-headed, anti-gun preaching, obama-ite from texas, so no, not very cool, but still not a bad person. Her style of teaching is unique to say the least, but I learned a lot from her class nonetheless.

I'd like to make it a sticky, I'm just not sure where to put it.

Why not here in general discussion or in the reference section?

Found where they are located and added it to the map.

If anyone else knows of something that this map might be missing, please don't hesitate to let me know!

Edit:
Also added Nigeria (need a pic of this rifle).
