- description
The short AK nozzle is the other half of a pair, and which one a gun needs depends on how its hop unit and cylinder head were specified rather than on the badge on the dust cover.
Keeping one of each on the bench saves an order when a rebuild turns out to want the other length.

Good to know before you buy
Shorter AK builds and some compact variants use this one, though the only reliable guide is the part you removed.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know I need the short one?
Compare against the part you removed. If the original is noticeably shorter than a standard long AK nozzle, this is the one.
Will it work in a Version 3 gearbox generally?
Version 3 covers AK and several other platforms, and they do not all share a nozzle length. Match the length, not the gearbox version.
Can I run it with a bore-up cylinder?
You can, but a standard nozzle will not pass the extra volume a bore-up set is built to move. Pair a bore-up cylinder with a bore-up nozzle.
