I have read in many places that "Kalashnikov designed a semi-automatic carbine, heavily influenced by American M1 Garand rifle." So, what was "heavily influenced" from the Garand?
The Gas system?
The Gas piston?
The Trigger group (put them side by side)?
The rotating bolt?
The charging handle?
How the barrel is installed onto the trunnion/receiver (accounting for both the milled and the flat designs)?
The location of the recoil system?
The Safety selector?
