That is a sweet looking AK..

 

[Gunner3456]

All I can find is that it is a platform for "various" calibers.

You can get a deep discount on one if you become a "freedom fighter" for Afghan, Iraq, Libya, LOL.

With the way things are going.. very soon one won't have to leave the USA to be a freedom fighter

 

[Bodyguard]

I want one of them! may be they will give me one to field test?!

Wonder what it will look like when it comes to America with its 922(r) panties on?

You realize Surefire copied quad stack AK74 mags for their design, right?

Kalashnikov AK-12 Unveiled | The Firearm Blog

Izhmash has officially unveiled the first working prototype of the AK-12 Assault Rifle. According to Max Popenker there will be two models, a Light model (5.45x39mm, 5.56x45mm and 7.62x39mm) that accepts all magazines that work with existing AK rifles, as well as a new 60 round quad stack magazine, and a Heavy (7.62x51mm) model that will use a new magazine.


The rifle's major new features are ...

• Ambidextrous forward charging handle.
• Smaller ejection port.
• New safety switch.
• New fire control switch with three modes of fire (single shot, 3 round burst and full auto).
• New hinged top cover. The cover is a lot more rigid that the previous AK rifles.
• Quad picatinny rails.
• Folding and length adjustable stock.
• Ergonomic pistol grip (with a decent radius between trigger guard and grip).
• New muzzle brake that attaches to standard NATO 22mm threading.
• Improved barrel rifling.

Whilst it is not pretty, in fact it is downright ugly, it possess all the features of the latest western assault rifles.

Yep.

Yes although I only read of them once, some time ago I did know that. I am not yet convinced they work as advertised, though
