Looks like the Ak-12 has eliminated the majority of shortcomings of the previous AK’s and SAK’s.

Viva la Avtomat Kalashnikova!

SAK:Semi automatic Kalashnikov

I did a Google search and found the QBZ-95 (96, 97) series info.
I’ll bet variations of the basic Kalashnikov design will be around for a long time.

I had never seen the QBZ-95 bolt, carrier, & piston either. It makes sense that the QBZ-95 rotating bolt is of AK design.

no, definitively a rotating bolt.

Bolt and carrier are obviously AK based.
