Yeah, this I know, I'm just fuzzy on how to visually distinguish between the two types.
I think a side-by-side comparison of the two types, pointing out the differences, would be a worthwhile addition to the AK gallery page similar to how the M16 gallery has close-ups of upper and lower receivers, telling how to distinguish them.
