This section of the Atlas supply catalogue lists Bulgarian-manufactured AK-derivative rifles across 7.62×39mm, 5.56×45mm, and 5.45×39mm calibers in multiple stock and barrel configurations. Arsenal AD produces platforms in Kazanlak, Bulgaria, and has manufactured AK-family firearms continuously since the mid-1960s. Procurement is open to ministries of defence, authorized defence contractors, and licensed importers operating within applicable regulatory frameworks.

Available Configurations

7.62×39mm Platforms

The 7.62×39mm group covers the AKS-47 select-fire Kalashnikov with underfolding metal stock – the folding-stock derivative of the AK-47 accepted by the Soviet Armed Forces in 1949 – alongside the Arsenal AR-M1 family in standard (M1) and underfolding-stock (M1F, M9F) configurations with 415mm barrel.

Compact variants are also listed: the SF (short barrel, folding stock), M4SF, and M2F small-size configuration. Compatible ammunition for the full 7.62×39mm group is listed as an independently procurable item in the 7.62×39mm cartridges section.

5.56×45mm NATO Platforms

The 5.56×45mm group includes the AR-M1 in fixed and folding-butt configurations, the compact AR-SF with short barrel and folding stock, the M9 and M9F series, and a semi-automatic configuration.

The 5.56×45mm AR-M1 platform accepts standard 30-round STANAG-compatible magazines and is cleared for the GP-25, UBGL-M6, and UBGL-M8 underbarrel grenade launchers; it has been deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other programs since 2000.

The corresponding 5.56×45mm cartridges are available for separate or combined procurement inquiry.

5.45×39mm Platform

The 5.45 mm AK-74U is the compact carbine variant of the Soviet AK-74, developed in the late 1970s for vehicle crews, airborne units, and special operations formations. With a 200mm barrel and 490mm folded overall length, it uses standard 30-round AK-74 pattern magazines and the 5.45×39mm Soviet-standard cartridge.

Procurement of select-fire platforms requires complete end-user documentation and export authorization from the country of final destination.

Are the 5.56×45mm Arsenal platforms compatible with standard NATO magazines?

Yes. The 5.56×45mm AR-M1 and related variants accept standard 30-round STANAG-compatible magazines, supporting procurement programs that require compatibility with NATO-standard small arms logistics.

Can any listed platform accept an underbarrel grenade launcher?

The AR-M1 platform in both 5.56×45mm and 7.62×39mm configurations is designed to accept the GP-25 and Arsenal UBGL-M6 and UBGL-M8 underbarrel grenade launcher systems. Grenade launchers are listed separately in the Atlas armament catalogue.
