That is an AKM-74 (by Russian designation). Assuming we're talking about Russian AKs, here's the breakdown:
AK - Automat Kalashnikova (base gun)
47 - 7.62x39
74 - 5.45x39
M - Modernized (black furniture is most obvious indicator)
S - Folding Stock
U - Shortened front end
N - Side Mounted Optics Plate
This is only Russian, not the AK 100 series, the Vz.58 series, the Type 56 series, ect.
