The AKS-74U 'Krinkov' is the cut-down AK74 carbine, and the CM045 wears the period-correct plum bakelite furniture that defines the Soviet-era look. Short, light and instantly recognisable, it's a superb CQB AK with genuine cold-war character.
The AKS-74U earned its 'Krinkov' nickname in Soviet hands in Afghanistan, where its tiny size suited vehicle crews and special units. The plum bakelite furniture is the detail collectors love — that warm reddish-brown polymer is pure cold-war character, and on a fast indoor site the short carbine is in its element.
What's on the outside
Plum bakelite furniture and a side-folding stock keep the look authentic, with the stubby Krinkov barrel and conical booster up front.
