The Russian arms manufacturer "Kalashnikov" will produce a batch of upgraded AK-308s for foreign customers in October. This concerns the 2025 model assault rifles chambered for 7.62x51 NATO (.308 Win).
The concern's gunsmiths have proactively unified the design of the AK-308 and AK-12 schematic solutions. Specialists have changed the handguard design, installed a folding, adjustable stock, as well as a receiver cover with a long Picatinny rail.
The detachable magazine has windows for visual monitoring of the number of cartridges.
The AK-308 also received a modified diopter sight with an integrated folding diopter (comes with an increased hole diameter). It is designed for firing at dusk and at close range.
The concern emphasized that there remains a high demand abroad for the 7.62 mm AK-308. "Kalashnikov" is already receiving new orders for 2026.
AK-308 Specifications:
- Ammunition — 7.62×51 mm
- Weight of the assault rifle with magazine — no more than 4.3 kg
- Barrel length — 415 mm
- Magazine capacity — 20 rounds
