Product Description 

The REVOLUTION of the AK

The wait is finally over.

Based on the long-revered AK platform, Arsenal has re-imagined this classic firearm with innovative features and an updated look-&-feel that truly brings it into the 21st century. We’ve kept the best and improved the rest by creating a system that combines all of the operational reliability that you know and trust, with the modern elements that serious shooters demand.

This limited edition, custom shop model is hand crafted to exacting standards and is constructed with a milled receiver, all machined parts, hammer forged chrome lined barrel, and aircraft-grade aluminum handguard. Chambered in 7.62x39mm it is available in SBR, with pistol and full-length rifle configurations coming soon.

THE ULTIMATE IN FLEXIBILITY

The AK-20 is designed with a proprietary integrated adjustable gas system that allows you to easily toggle between ammunition types and firing options depending on shooting conditions. You can choose between standard or sub-sonic ammunition, and depending on the model, switch to manual action for quieter shooting or suppressed gas operation with less muzzle flash and minimized recoil.

The 3-position tunable AK-20 gas system works in the following way:

• Turn to the right “MIL-STD” for use with standard ammunition.
• Turn to the left “SUB” for subsonic ammunition when suppressed.
• Center setting has no marking and restricts gas flow.
  • Subsonic ammunition suppressed – restricts gas flow and requires shooter to manually cycle rounds.
  • Supersonic ammunition suppressed – restricts gas flow to soften the bolt cycling.

OPTIMAL ACCURACY

Another key feature of the AK-20 is the newly configured handguard, barrel, and gas tube. Unlike traditional models, this design minimizes contact between the parts allowing them to work independently for greater heat resistance, overall stability, and highly improved accuracy.
