I would like to bring to your attention a very unusual sample with a rather curious history.. The preamble is as follows: The name of the product is "GRAD".
The ammunition used is 6x49. The store is a box-shaped, sector-type, for 30 rounds, in design and architecture, completely similar to the metal modifications of the AKM-74 magazines of the 2nd and 3rd series, but having an increased length, which accordingly caused a change in the throat of the receiver - can be seen on pictures. Lineup - bullpup, receiver cover, frame, stem, trigger, fire control handle, etc. etc. - compilation of AKM, AKSU, etc. PBS, optics - standard. On the back plate of the shoulder rest there is an overlay with a logo. Rifling - 4 x right, with a pitch of 415mm. Ballistics - both internal and external - are rather mediocre, which, in general, is not surprising for a short-barreled weapon chambered for a relatively powerful cartridge. High penetration ability - "armor" of the 3rd class sews from 250-270m. Low ricochet.
And now - the ambula. These products began to appear in the Southern Federal District, North Caucasus and Transcaucasia about two years ago. Manufacturing unconditionally factory, components - too, the batches were not very large, but frequent. The price on the hands danced from 250 to 350 greens. Obviously, not "ChechenOboronProm", for a number of reasons - the Russian Federation. "… They are looking for firemen, the police are looking for …" And the funniest thing was that in some cases the shops turned out to be equipped with Shiryaev's experimental sub-caliber "shooters" within the 6x49 unitary (photo), which, it is stated, were never produced ANYWHERE and NEVER SERIOUSLY. Help - now, it seems, the question is closed.
