It suits a period loadout and looks right on a Cold War build, but on a modern kit it can sit oddly against black furniture and nylon webbing. This version solves that by simply not having it, and nothing else about the rifle changes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAK platforms have historically been the awkward ones in the gas blowback world, because the rotating bolt costs gas efficiency compared with an AR. KWA's answer was a redesigned bolt assembly, and the result pushes the rate of fire past 14 rounds per second on green gas while keeping shot-to-shot consistency — which is what makes this one usable on a site rather than just interesting on a bench.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe magazine deserves a mention of its own. It holds 40 rounds and has a blank-fire setting, which sounds like a novelty until you use it for dry practice and realise how much cheaper it is than feeding the gun BBs to learn the controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:16px;color:#1B3A6B;margin:18px 0 8px;\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable

A side-folding stock on a gun this size is the difference between a rifle bag and a holdall, and it makes the AKS-74U one of the easier full-power gas guns to transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOptics mount on the AK side rail rather than a top rail, so you need a side-rail mount rather than a Picatinny one.
