Why don't they just make it longer and use it instead of the AK-12?
>>35075343
Also comes suppressed in 9x39mm

Hilarious.
>>35075368
It is actually the old Dragunov MA that competed against the AKS-74U in trials but dressed up in new clothes with SCAR-like features

>>35075390
compare to the new MA that Kalashnikov showed off last year that was developed into the AM-17

faggot russians
Impressive lack of recoil for such a lightweight carbine. I know 5.45 is a gentle cartridge in general, but still...
>>35075343
This is sexy as fuck!
>>35075343
>Why don't they just make it longer and use it instead of the AK-12?
Kalashnikov sabotages themselves obviously. They don't want internal competition for AK
>but AKSU-74
Its production stopped decades ago but demand fro shorty remained so AM-17

Magwell was mistake.

It's obviously made to be SF equipment.
Why should they. You seem to know all about it. I mean it looks cool so why not make it general issue like a videogame dev would

how can memewell fags ever recover?
>>35075343
Wait... wait wait wait...
What side does that stock fold on? Is it over the ejection port?
>>35076758
See the stock axis pin being angled? It folds under the ejection port.

>Why don't they just make it longer and use it instead of the AK-12?
because that would made it a A-545 clone

Time to stop posting.
>>35076758
Watch video FFS.
>>35076758
>>35076772
>>35076812
but that is true
if Russian MOD want a Polymer Receiver gun, it could just choose the A-545. It already finished state test years ago and a better gun.
>>35076843
These are way too different to be compared, stop being retarded.
Balanced recoil is not needed on 5.45 too.
>>35076843
A-545 has a whole bucket of problems associated with balanced recoil system. Like weight, reliability, parts service life, charging force of dirty gun, smoke over sight line. And ugly stock.
>>35076879
>These are way too different to be compared
they are both polymer receiver gun
AK-12 is steel receiver, Izhevsk already have the capacity to make good, cheap steel receiver.
>Balanced recoil is not needed on 5.45 too.

Balanced system is not need for any intermediate cartridge gun, even worse with 7.62 gun
>>35076892
some MVD and FSB spetsnaz unit which received AEK-971 actually prefer them over the AK-74
the stock would be the biggest problem
>>35075343
This looks like some bastard child of an aek and radon.
What is that control in the stock for?
>>35075343
Oh look, finally a Russian gun that doesn't look like boiled ass.
>>35075343
>Why don't they just make it longer and use it instead of the AK-12?
Would pretty much look like Kalashnikov Alfa
it looks stupid i dont like it
>>35075362
Russians buy eotech?
WHY YOU WANT RAIL FOR KALASHNIKOVA
>>35078301

looks familiar

ARX is fully plastic. AM-17 upper receiver is metal wrapped in plastic covers.
