The auto-safety sear is associated with which safety element?

• A. AK-74 locking system
• B. AK-47/AKM PPF
• C. AK-47/AKM practical range
• D. Russia

Answer: (B)

The auto-safety sear is part of the AK’s firing/safety mechanism, the fire control group that coordinates trigger, sear, and safety functions. On the AK-47/AKM family, this safety element is associated with the PPF—the AK’s fire-control/safety assembly—where the sear interacts with the auto-safety parts to prevent hammer release when safety conditions call for it. This integration ensures the weapon cannot fire unintentionally, especially in safety modes or during cycling, by controlling whether the trigger can release the hammer. The other options don’t describe a safety component: the locking system relates to bolt locking, practical range is a performance spec, and Russia is simply a country.
