Can an ak-74 bayonet fit on an ak-47?

What's the difference between a ak-47 and an akm?

Well, this question has many facets.

1) Which rifle are you referring to when you say "AK47"? The AK47 was produced from 1947 til 1959 while the AKM entered service in 1959 and continues today.

The AKM bayonets are interchangeable with AK74/AK10x series guns.

AK-47 bayonets are not interchangeable with AKM/AK74/AK10x rifles (they use a totally different connection method).

(this is the problem with calling everything made at a Kalashnikov plant an "AK47")
 
Don't recall having any problems fitting a Bulgarian AK bayonet (think my buddy got it from K-Var) onto my Tantal -- front end of the muzzle brake has a step to accept the bayonet's mounting ring.
