Got a chance in Russia to take a close look at the AK-74 modernizing upgrades planned for the Russian Army. This is the first prototype and some items have already been changed or tweaked such as the muzzle device
The rail that mounts over the gas tube locks up pretty tight
The whole kit is designed so it is easily (relatively speaking) installed at the Unit armorer level
The upgrades are designed for both the AK-74M and AK-74. Note the folding stock adaptor, new railed dust cover, modified selector and updated pistol grip.
Collapsable stock
New muzzle adaptor, with possible sound suppression which fits over the original style brake.
Baffle fits onto front of brake
Size view of the new muzzle assembly
New upper handguard with Keymod slots
Note the spring-loaded locking lever securing the rail
New rear sight and dust cover
Claws have been
The updated handguard attaches to this bracket
New handguard in place, fitting over the bracket
The new grip includes an oil container, so you’ll never have to pi$$ on your AK to get it running again.
