"I'm proud of my invention, but I'm sad that it is used by terrorists … I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work -- for example a lawn mower."

- Mikhail Kalashnikov

Izhmash, the original manufacturer of the AK-47. doesn't produce it since 1959. Most of the AK's we see today are either cheap sporting replicas (chambered in .22 rifle), illegal non-licenced copies or upgrades/modernisations of the rifle (like the AK-74/103, abakan, AKM, Etc)
