Question For the AK Experts Here - The Krinkov

[JITW]

For AK Experts Here: The Krinkov

I currently run an Underfolder Krinkov as my main rifle here in Iraq- if you have any info on the history of the Krinkov I would love to hear it (for some background stuff for an article I am writing). I cant find that much about the background of it on da' net

My Underfolder Krinkov’s



Thanks for your responses

I don’t have any information to offer but I am very curious about what kind of accuracy you have with the weapon. That looks like a bit of a short barrel.

krinkov is an american term for an AK74SU or any short barreled ak type rifle.

you've got zastavas m92

Not sure if you've seen this, but here you go:

I think the most significant difference between the AK74SU and the AK74U is the stock (underfolder vs. side folder).

The one you currently have is a Yugoslavian M-92, good choice.

You can find all the info you want at www.theakforum.net, look in the "Krink" forum

I am not an expert but when I was Chechnya there were four choices of weapons. Dragunov for sniping, AK 74 for front line work, AK 47 for general stuff and the Krinkov for undercover/car work. Its a great "you talking to me punk?" type of side arm.


It was a tankers weapon and designed for making a shit load of noise when your assailants least expect it. I say noise because one of those rounds is sure to hit something. They are popular in Afghanistan but very expensive. More of a bodyguard gun than a military weapon. Don't know what they cost in Iraq.

And yes Krinkov is what its called by the muj so you can resume your coolness

Not quite a "Krink" but this one goes almost everywhere with me.
