The AK-105 is a short barrel, carbine version of the AK-74M rifle, originally developed to replace the shorter barrelled AKS-74U. The AK-105 is chambered in 5.45×39mm ammunition[1] and is used domestically by the Russian Army in contrast to other AK-100 series rifles.[2]
The carbine is produced at Izhmash factories in Izhevsk, Russia. It is part of the AK-100 family.[3]
Design
Compared to the AK-74M, AK-101, and AK-103, which are full-length assault rifles of similar design, the AK-105 is a carbine rifle featuring a shorter Script error: No such module "convert". barrel, and a solid, side-folding, polymer stock allowing convenience in transportation or paratrooper operations, while still providing a stable firing platform when extended; the AK-105 retains the ability to fire with the stock folded.[4]
The AK-105 has matching polymer furniture including pistol grip, magazines and forward handguard. It was developed to replace the even shorter compact AKS-74U, (however both rifles are in-service)[5] that featured a shorter skeleton stock and a shorter, Script error: No such module "convert". barrel.[6][7] The AK-105 uses an adjustable, UTemplate:Nbhnotch, rear tangent sight, calibrated in Script error: No such module "convert". increments out to Script error: No such module "convert"..
