USAMC MK-74k (Modernized Krinkov)

"...In 1979, a shortened carbine variant of the AKS-74 was adopted into service with the Soviet Army, The "Krinkov" is well suited to Urban Warfare and bridges the gap between a submachine gun and an assault rifle, the AKS-74u is a great weapon, but lacks the adaptability and ergonomics of a modern carbine..."

 

The MK.74k was developed as a modernized update of the AKS-74u design, the carbine keeps the same basic features of the "Krinkov" but uses a modified receiver, pictatinny rail system, adjustable gas regulator, and a stock adapter too allow the use of an AR-15 type stocks. The upper rail system is milled out to allow the use of the original sights.
