INFO
The MPi-AKS-74N stands as a testament to the ingenuity of East German small arms designers, as one of their last developments before the country's reunification. Drawing inspiration from the venerable AK-74 series of rifles, this variant was tailored to the specific needs of the East German military.
​
The rifle features a standard AK-74 type 24mm threaded muzzle device and front sight block, as well as a 90-degree gas block.
The rifle accepts standard AKM/AK-74 style handguards, and the East German Mpi-AKS-74 encompasses a unique look with its bakelite lower handguard, and brown plastic upper handguard. The rifles are also issued with the classic brown plastic East German style checkered pistol grip.
​
With various distance holds, up to 1000 meters, on its rear sight block, the MPi-AKS-74N has a standard late-style AK-74 rear sight.
The 1mm sheet metal receiver, bolt, and carrier are reminiscent of the standard AK-74 design, and it features a ribbed design sheet metal dust cover.
​
Designed with paratroopers and other vehicle-bound units in mind, the AKS model comes equipped with a side folding wire stock.
The rifles are issued with orange bakelite 30rd magazines manufactured in East Germany, the MPi-AKS-74N also features a side optic rail mount that allows for the attachment of various optics, including the East German ZFK scope.
