I suppose the M16 has a few similarities, and it has frequently been used in comparisson to the AK-47.  

Take a look at the link below for example...

Answer 7

The Israeli Galil

The Indian INSAS

The Romanian WASR-10

The Finnish Valmet

(In Ukraine, they have bullpup versions of AKM)

Just some, also believe it or not, MT Kalashnikov borrowed some design elements from the M1 Garand, I think it was something to do with the gas system.
