INSAS was a total disaster and Pakistani Armed Forces have done enough testing now time to make a deal. And I would say it again it would be better to produce at least 2 Rifle series in Pakistan. Hopefully INSHALLAH I would attend IDEAS this year so let see what happens.

Pakistan needs to speed up its Rifle procurement program

We should revive AAR project chambered to fire 6.8x43mm rounds instead of going for Ak103. Russians themselves prefer 5.56x39mm ammo. US has also adopted 6.8mm to replace their existing 5.56.

The Firearm Blog is proud to present a line of unique pictures of the new and improved Kalashnikov AK-100M series.

The AK-100M is the modernized version of the AK-100, with the obvious addition of the “M” in the name.


It’s interesting to see some of the modifications I personally did to my AK (albeit a Shotgun, to make it more ergonomic and better to shoot) many years ago now find their way to production rifles. And I don’t claim to have been the first to have used those parts or modifications, far from.

The AK-100M Series

Kalashnikov have taken some of the improvements that came about in connection with the development of the AK-12. The AK-12 is similar to an improved AK-74M, although it is a new production with better quality.

Some of the “M” improvements are:

• Rails and Picatinny.
• Rigid, dust cover with optical orientation rail etc. Note, however, that you still have a short line of sight for the irons.
• Ergonomic grip• New adjustable stock. I’m told you can get height adjustment too.

• New flash hider
• Price about 1000 US Dollar

• Most spare parts for the old AK-100 can still be used with M models (which is not the case with the AK-12 in relation to the AK-74M.)


Caliber wise, here’s a list of how each model is chambered.

In short the AK-101M and -102M are 5,56×45 mm.

The AK-103M and -104M are 7,62х39 mm.

The AK-105M is 5,45х39 mm.


Below: Top is AK101M in 5,56×45 mm. You can compare the 101M to the AK-101 here.

Below: AK101M in 5,56×45 mm. Magazine latch clearly visible.

Below: AK101M in 5,56×45 mm. The magazine is fairly straight. Note the side “rail” on the front grip, I’m not sure what it’s for? It looks like a sling attachment.

Below: AK103M in 7,62×39 mm and grenade launcher. Banana magazine. You can check the AK-103 here.

India if acts smart should go for this modernized version of AK-100 series

We should revive AAR project chambered to fire 6.8x43mm rounds instead of going for Ak103. Russians themselves prefer 5.56x39mm ammo. US has also adopted 6.8mm to replace their existing 5.56.

USA has not adopted 6.8
