A large batch of 7.62-mm AK203 assault rifles was handed over to a foreign customer ahead of schedule. The delivery was carried out by the Kalashnikov Concern, fully closing obligations under the export contract for 2026.
AK203 is a modernized version of AK103 for the 7.62×39 mm cartridge. The engineers retained the proven design, which guarantees high reliability, durability and simple maintenance.
Unified Picatinny rails were installed on the weapon's body. They allow mounting optical and night sights, tactical lights and other equipment. The solution expands the combat capabilities of the assault rifle when operating in twilight and in conditions of limited lighting.
The folding buttstock with smooth length adjustment and well-placed controls adapt the weapon to shooters of any build. Ergonomics do not interfere with maneuvering even when using full combat gear.
The concern has been producing assault rifles of the two hundredth series exclusively for the foreign market since 2020. The technical parameters of the products meet the strict requirements of foreign customers for modern small arms.
