Very often, hunting weapons are created on the basis of an already existing military one. This is exactly the case with the new carbine, which was presented recently by the Kalashnikov concern. Now, if a hunter dreams of having in his hands an item of commercial weapons, visually similar to the combat AK-12, then he can simply go to a retail outlet and take a novelty for himself. Let's take a closer look at the carbine to appreciate the new product.

All the best is done not only for children, but also for the army. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that many samples of commercial weapons are revised versions of combat weapons. In addition, many hunters simply want to own and use a weapon that is aesthetically similar, or even replicates combat exactly. A new carbine from the Kalashnikov concern based on the AK-12 and AK-15 assault rifles, made under the domestic hunting cartridge .366 TKM, allows you to fully satisfy the desire of those who like to shoot in the wild beast. The AK TR3 carbine is called.

As already noted, the .366 TKM cartridge was developed in Russia specifically for industrial needs. Ammunition with an expansive bullet weighing 13.5 grams, a conical sleeve with a diameter of 11.35 mm. The energy of such a bullet is 1,800-2,500 J. It is easy to guess that the use of a new, larger cartridge, forced to increase the barrel diameter of the AK TR3. Moreover, the length of the latter is the same as that of the AK-12 assault rifle. It should be noted that the overall dimensions of the weapon have not changed. As a result, we got a weapon that is similar to the army model in ballistics of firing at a distance of up to 200 meters. This is despite the fact that the carbine uses a fundamentally different cartridge.

The design of the weapon is almost completely consistent with the military AK-12 and AK-15. The main difference is the absence of the traditional Dovetail strip for attaching additional accessories. She was replaced by the Picatinny rail, which runs along the entire upper part of the receiver and gas tube. So the hunter will be able to tune the AK TR3 to his taste! The standard sight was also replaced. In contrast to the "army man", in a trade weapon it is diopter. The weapon also received a telescopic plastic buttstock with the ability to fold "on a break". Magazines for TR3 have "windows" for assessing the level of ammunition, as well as a beveled heel for greater ease of shooting and aiming.
