The AK-47's used in the film are Egyptian Maadi ARM rifles. In 1983 roughly 2000 of the rifles were imported to the USA by Steyr. A large number of these first imports were used in film and were even converted to have automatic fire for the purposes of the movie. The rifles are the closest to a Russian production AK-47 that you can own in the USA, because they were made on Russian machines using Russian raw materials and under the guidance and supervision of Russian gunsmiths and factory managers. Among collectors the Egyptian Maadi ARM imported by Steyr are highly sought after.
