Brian Skinner, CEO of Kalashnikov USA, discusses the company's upcoming product releases at Shot Show 2017. Key announcements include the KS12 12-gauge magfed shotgun, a 9mm variant, and AK-pattern rifles. The company is also developing the 'Alpha' series, with a focus on purpose-built models for the American market, and a submachine gun version of the VZ-series for military and law enforcement contracts.
This video from Shot Show 2017 features Kalashnikov USA showcasing their new 9mm KR9 SBR and 16-inch barrel rifle, loosely based on the VSS Vintorez. They also preview the upcoming Alpha model and discuss their tactical shotguns. Key details include the KR9's blowback operation, proprietary 30-round magazines, threaded barrels for suppressors, and expected pricing around $1,000. The tactical shotguns are ready to ship with an MSRP of $1099, a significant price drop from previous Russian imports. The Alpha model is slated for 2018 production in calibers like 7.62x39mm, with potential for 5.45x39mm and 5.56x45mm later.
This video from Shot Show 2016 provides an overview of upcoming Kalashnikov USA firearms. Key announcements include the prototype AK 103 model featuring a forged trunnion and 4140 barrels (with hope for cold hammer forged), expected summer 2016 release, and a sub-$1000 price point. A 9mm AK, a direct copy of the Saiga 9, is slated for late spring/early summer. Kalashnikov USA will also launch a full line of shotguns and a new rifle called the Alpha, based on the 7.62x39mm platform with improved ergonomics and M-LOK compatibility, also due in late summer 2016.
