Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Kalashnikov Concern announced the shipment to the Ministry of Defense of the first batch of Chukavina sniper rifles (SHF), which successfully passed acceptance. This was reported by the arms concern.

“The Chukavina sniper rifle (microwave) produced by Kalashnikov Concern JSC has successfully passed acceptance; The first production batch was shipped to the customer,” the press service explained.

Next year the concern will continue to mass-produce this type of small arms. Speaking about the advantages of the microwave, the concern noted that it has improved ergonomics and accuracy of fire. At the same time, any sights can be used with the rifle: both Russian and foreign.

Serial production of microwaves began this year. The weight of the rifle without a magazine is 4.8 kg, the barrel length is 620 mm, the length of the product (with the stock unfolded and a flash suppressor) is 1170 mm. The cartridges used are 7.62 mm caliber. At the same time, the designers have provided reliable gas exhaust automation with a short stroke of the gas piston and a three-position rotary gas regulator.

Kalashnikov President Alan Lushnikov noted that the new rifle has the same reliability as the world-famous SVD (Dragunov sniper rifle). He added that the concern continues to produce the Dragunov rifle.

On December 13 , Regnum news agency reported on the creation in Russia of a new lightweight self-loading sniper and assault rifle in the interchangeable caliber 308 win (7.62×51). It is capable of automatic fire and should replace the LAR-10 “Counter” and “Smersh” rifles.

One of its advantages will be its lightweight weight - only 3.6 kg. Another fundamental feature of the new rifle is the ability to install replaceable cylinders, which will allow it to work both as a rifle and as an assault rifle. It was clarified that the production of all parts will be on the basis of the rifle manufacturer - Lobaev Arms, which will allow for more complete control over their quality.
